Beer Battered Cod
With Counter Weight Brewing’s Headway IPA!
Servings: 6 | Prep: 15 min | Cook: 15 min
Ingredients:
• 2 lbs. of cod
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/3 cups Headway IPA
• Canola oil for frying
Preparation:
Add oil to a large, heavy bottomed pot or deep fryer till it's 2-3in deep. Heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Cut fish into stick shapes, about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper.
For the beer batter, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt. Stir in the lightly beaten egg, then slowly whisk in the beer until the batter forms and no longer lumpy.
Dip the fish one piece at a time into the batter, then place in the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is a nice golden brown. Be careful to not over crowd which will drop the oil temp. Drain on a wire rack to keep the coating nice and crispy.
Enjoy while hot!
