Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups dark ale beer ((I used Newcastle))
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 pounds cod ((cut into 2-inch strips))
  • peanut oil for frying

Instruction

  • Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large, heavy pot {or Dutch oven).
  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together on a large place, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, pepper, and sugar. Add the eggs and beer, whisk to combine.
  • Dredge cod in the flour mixture, then dip in the batter; turn to completely cover.
  • Gently place the battered cod in the hot oil. Use tongs to keep fish from sticking to the bottom. Continue with additional pieces of fish.
