Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Codfish

    Rinse the codfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into smaller pieces if desired, about 2-3 inches long.

  2. 2

    Season the Codfish

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the codfish pieces. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the batter.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to become hot, but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Coat the Codfish

    Dip each piece of seasoned codfish into the batter, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides.

  3. 6

    Pan-fry the Codfish

    Carefully place the coated codfish pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the codfish to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
