Tips:

  • Use fresh cod fillets. Fresh cod fillets will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the cod fillets are dry before coating them in batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
  • Use a light hand when coating the cod fillets in batter. Too much batter will make the fish greasy.
  • Fry the cod fillets in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the cod fillets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the cod fillets until they are golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
