Fish-o-Filet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer or sparkling water and mix until a smooth batter forms.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Fish-o-Filet

    To assemble, place a fried cod fillet on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with shredded lettuce, pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
