Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and has a pouring consistency.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oil

    In a deep frying pan or fryer, heat oil to 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Batter the cod

    Cut the cod fillets into nugget-sized pieces. Dip each piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the cod

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

  5. 5

    Prepare the chips

    While the cod is frying, prepare the Saratoga chips on a serving platter.

  6. 6

    Assemble the dish

    Place the fried cod nuggets on top of the Saratoga chips. Drizzle with tartar sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
