Method
Preparing the Beer Battered Cod
- 1
Make the Battering Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the beer, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float.
- 3
Coat the Cod
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
- 4
Fry the Cod
Carefully place the battered cod fillets into the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making the Homemade Tartar Sauce
- 5
Combine the Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until fully combined.
- 6
Chill
Cover the tartar sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Assembling the Sandwich
- 7
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- 8
Layer the Ingredients
Spread a generous amount of the homemade tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of fried cod on top, followed by a slice of cheese, a leaf of lettuce, and a slice of tomato.
