Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 to 2 pounds fresh cod
Salt and pepper
1 /2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons cold water, a splash
2 cups plain bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, a few pinches
Wedged lemons and malt vinegar for topping

Steps:

Pour 2-inches of vegetable oil into a large skillet. Place skillet over large burner and heat oil over medium high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in 1-inch cube of white bread. The bread should brown in a 40 count.
Cut cod into 4 servings, 6 to 8-ounce portions and season with salt and pepper. Place a couple of scoops of flour in a pie tin. Combine egg and water in second tin. Season plain bread crumbs and mustard and cayenne in the third tin. Coat fish in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs. Gently set coated fish into hot oil and fry 5 minutes on each side until medium golden brown in color.
When the fish is evenly golden all over, remove and drain on brown paper sacks.
Suggested: 3 disposable pie tins .

Tips:

Choose a firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well to frying, such as tilapia, cod, or catfish.
Soak the fish in a brine solution for at least 30 minutes before frying to help it retain moisture and flavor.
Use a light hand when coating the fish in flour to avoid making the batter too thick.
Fry the fish in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and make the fish greasy.
Drain the fish on paper towels before serving to remove any excess oil.
Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
