- Salt
- 1 large egg, seperated
- 1 pound of cod fillets
Instructions
- Combine flour, beer, and 2 tsp. oil in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
- Pour 2" of oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until it is about 365 degrees and a bread cube placed in the oil is browned in about 45 seconds. Add enough potato wedges as will fit. Do not crowd. Fry potatoes until outsides are brown, 4-6 minutes turning once.
- Drain wedges on paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Remove to serving dish and keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato wedges. Reserve oil to fry cod fillets.
- Stir egg yolks into flour mixture. Beat egg white with mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold egg white into flour mixture; set aside. Allow temperature of oil to return to 365. Rinse cod fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Cut fillets into 8 pieces into batter; fry until batter is crispy and brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, 4-6 minutes turning once.
