Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add ice-cold water, whisking until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it’s ready.
- 3
Coat the cod
Dip each piece of Icelandic Cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 4
Fry the fish
Carefully place the battered cod pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

Drain and serve
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
