Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cod

    Coat each cod fillet in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat in cornmeal. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully place the breaded cod fillets in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

    Remove the cod from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
