Perfect Fried Cod Recipe

Fried Cod is our favourite fried fish. It’s crispy on the surface and flaky on the within . And it's perfect for dunking in homemade tartare sauce.

When it involves fish, my family is all about the white fish. Cod specifically. We love it because it’s a light white fish with a firm texture. this suggests that it’s not super fishy tasting, which suggests it’s great for the kiddos.

Now, my family will eat cod any way I serve it, but if we’re being totally honest, fried is that the best. I mean crispy fried fish, with a squirt of lemon dunked in tartar sauce? It doesn’t get far better . AM I RIGHT?

What batter is best for fried fish?

When I leave to eat, i'm always hesitant to order Fish and Chips. Not because I don’t like it , but because, I don’t love battered fish and chips.

Battered fish is usually dunked during a wet batter then fried. For me, even fried, wet batters have a bent to urge a touch soggy. they appear to take in more of the oil. that's why, once I make fried cod, i select to try to to a panko crust. It leads to crispy, flaky fish each and each time.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 pound cod fillets, cut into strips or bite sized pieces
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

Turn oven to warm setting (170 degrees or lowest it will go). Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and set aside.
Set up an assembly line: place flour on one plate, eggs in a bowl and combine panko, salt and garlic together on another plate.
Dredge fish in flour, dip in egg and then press into panko to coat. Repeat until all fish is coated.
In a large pot, heat 1 - 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees. Fry fish in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Place cooked fish on the cooling rack in the oven to keep warm until all fish is cooked. Serve immediately.
