How to fry cod in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. If the fish is frozen, then it must be previously thawed at room temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, do not lower the fish into hot water. In this case, she will lose all the juices and will be dry. I usually put the fish in a colander the night before. So excess fluid flows off it.

Wet the cod fillet with paper towels and cut into portions. Spray the fish a little with lemon juice. This will remove a fishy smell that is too intrusive.

To make the batter, combine the eggs with the milk and add some salt and spices. You can use a ready-made set of spice for fish. Mix everything.

Then add flour and knead the batter. It should be homogeneous, without lumps of flour. To do this, you can use a mixer. Navigate the final amount of flour according to the consistency of the batter. It has to be a bit thick so it doesn't drain off the fish when frying.

Dip each piece of fish completely in the resulting batter.

Heat the frying pan to hot and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Place the battered fish in a frying pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Make the fire smaller so that the fish has time to fry inside, and the batter itself does not start burning.

Ready-made pieces of fish will become a mouth-watering golden color.

Put the finished fish on a paper towel to remove excess oil from it.

The battered cod in the pan is delicious as a self-contained snack for the festive table. Also, you can supplement the fish with a side dish, for example, mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
