Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Cod

    Dip each piece of cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Cook the French Fries

    In the same oil, fry the French fries according to package instructions or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare Garlic Toast

    Toast the slices of bread and spread with butter and garlic (if desired).

    Serve

    Plate the fried cod alongside the French fries and garlic toast. Enjoy your Cod Basket!
