Recipe View 4 mins Fry cod in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately. (Cook time: 3-4 minutes per batch)

For extra crispiness, double-fry the fish. Fry for 2 minutes per side, remove, let rest for 5 minutes, then fry again for 1-2 minutes per side.
Make sure your oil is at the correct temperature for optimal crispiness.
Don't overcrowd the fryer; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

    This recipe is amazing! The fish was so crispy and stayed that way. Definitely a keeper!

  • Irving Hilpert

    The fish was delicious and crispy, but I found the batter a little too thick. I added a bit more beer to thin it out, and it was perfect!

  • Kirk Howell

    I've tried many beer-battered fish recipes, and this one is by far the best. The trick of freezing the batter is genius!

  • Eleanora Smith

    The foil drying rack really helped keep the fish crispy. Great tip!
