Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large heavy pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there's enough oil to fully submerge the fish.

Batter the Fish
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
