Method
For the Fish
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the Welz Guy Hefeweizen beer until the batter is smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Fry the Cod
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place it in 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.

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Fry the Fries
In the same oil used for the fish and hush puppies, fry the potato fries in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Salt to taste.
