Fish Preparation

Prepare the Beer Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and thick. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Batter and Fry the Cod
Dip each cod fillet into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cut the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries, about 1/2 inch wide.

Soak the Fries
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
