This Beer Battered Cod tastes just like those on many Wisconsin Fish Fry menus but proves that no deep-fryer is required to feast! This easy fish recipe is coated in a beer batter that&#039;s crunchy, crispy, and remarkably light.

Beer Battered Cod

mayonnaise

dill pickles (minced)

onion (minced)

lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)

dill pickle juice

Salt and black pepper

vegetable oil ((see note 1))

all-purpose flour

cumin

black pepper

cayenne pepper

light beer ((see note 2))

cod (skinless,

lemon (cut into wedges, for garnish)

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice and dill pickle juice. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper (I like 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Cover and allow to chill for 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

To make the tartar sauce:

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Prepare a plate lined with paper towels as well as a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven until it is 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne. When the oil is almost ready, add the light beer to the flour mixture and gently whisk until smooth.

Using tongs, lift pieces of fish and dredge through batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Add the fish to the hot oil, gently swimming the fish to ensure it doesn&#039;t stick to the bottom or to any other pieces.

Fry until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit on a digital thermometer, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent pieces from sticking to one another.

Remove the fried fish from the oil and allow to drain briefly on paper towels. Transfer to the wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven to keep fried fish warm.

Allow the oil to return to 375 degrees and batter and fry the remaining fish. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Beer Battered Cod - Culinary Hill 1.mp4

Baha Fish Taco Bowls made with beer-battered cod, cilantro lime rice, Mexican pinto beans, Mexican Slaw, avacodo and chipotle mayo! (Fish takes 20 minutes but sides take longer!)

Baja Taco Bowls! 

lb wild cod (or raw peeled shrimp,

AP flour, spooned and leveled (or GF flour blend)

garlic powder

chili powder

smoked paprika

oregano

beer

Lime Rice

Mexican Pinto Beans

Black beans

Mexican Slaw

Chipotle Mayo or Creamy Avocado Sauce

Pickled red onions

Queso fresco cheese (optional)

Hot sauce

Prepare any of the Baja Bowl Ingredients you want. (It is best to do this ahead)

Cut fish

Make the Batter

Pour 1/2 cup beer into a medium bowl. Whisk in the all spices and salt. Slowly whisk in the flour. If you&#8217;d like a looser or thinner batter, add a little more beer.  Place the fish in the batter coating all sides.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, until very hot, smoking hot (350 F) or sizzles when you drop a little batter in. Carefully place the battered fish in the oil, watching out for splatter. Cook 3 minutes or until fish naturally releases from the pan (it will release when crispy and golden) then carefully turn it over. Lower heat to LOW. Cook until this side is golden, crispy and fish is cooked through, another 3-5 minutes.  Place on a paper towel lined plate, to blot the oil while you plate up the bowls. (You could also keep these on a wire rack in a 300 F oven, until ready to serve, so they stay crispy.)

Create the base of the bowls with warm beans or rice or both, add veggies, avocado and/or slaw. Top with fish. Serve with limes and chipotle Mayo or hot sauce.

Absolutly delicious.  Family gobbled it up.

New favorite. Used canned beans and made the rice, slaw and chipotle mayo. TASTY.

Yummy!  Made it with swai, accompanied with black beans, avocado, carrots and cucumbers.  Delicious breading

I've made this twice now and it's such a hit with my family. The flavors are amazing and the fish cooks perfectly. It's a household favorite now. Thank you!

Made this with cod and it was very good. Have you ever tried this beer batter with boneless chicken breast pieces. I think you would have to cook it longer but not sure if it would work

I have made this receipt twice now and I'm really struggling with the frying part. It keeps sticking to the pan and I lose my tasty beer batter or if I manage not to stick the fish then the fish is a little soggy. It all still tastes good but it's not the crispy fish I'm looking for. Do you have any suggestions?

Amazingly crisp on the outside yet juicy and flaky on the inside . Quicker and tastier than your local fish fry.
