Battered cod

4 servings
1 hour


1. If you have salted cod, soak it in cold water for three days, changing water 2-3 times a day. If fresh, start cooking right away.

2. Remove the bones from the fish and remove the skin. Cut the fish into small portion pieces, do not discard the trimmings, they will make excellent cutlets.

3. For the batter, mix the beer and water, add the sugar and yeast and mix well until the yeast dissolves. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and stir to combine. The batter should be quite liquid, something in between pancakes and pancakes, so do not pour all the flour at once, look at the consistency. Tighten the batter with film and leave for an hour or more in a warm place to approach. The finished batter is lush and airy.

4. In a sauté pan or deep frying pan, heat the oil well. Scour the fish in flour, then battered and gently dip it into the butter. Don't put too much fish right away to keep the oil from cooling. Deep-fry battered fish on all sides until golden color.

5. Put the finished fish on a napkin to stack the excess fat. It's very delicious! And batter, if anything, is suitable for vegetables. Nice!
