Method
Fish Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Battering Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.

Batter and Fry the Cod
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Tartar Sauce Preparation

Mix the Tartar Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
