Method

Fried Cod

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs mixed with milk in the second, and a mix of cornmeal, salt, and black pepper in the third.

    Bread the Cod

    Dredge each cod fillet in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.
