Description

This fried fish recipe is made with cod fillets dipped in seasoned beer batter and coated in a spicy cornflake mixture, then deep-fried until golden.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound cod fillets
2 cups crushed cornflake crumbs
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 quart oil for frying

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Beat together beer, flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.
3 Add cod fillets; stir gently until well coated.
4 Mix together cornflake crumbs and Cajun seasoning in a separate medium bowl until well combined.
5 Dip cod in cornflake mixture to thoroughly coat all sides.
6 Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry cod in hot oil until golden brown and flesh is easily flaked with a fork. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
