Method

For the Beer Battered Cod

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and thick. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cod

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

For the French Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into sticks or wedges, as per your preference.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil for Frying

    In a separate deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

For the Coleslaw (optional)

  1. 8

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, grated carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Mix Well

    Toss the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
