Ingredients

4 servings

2 cups all-purpose flour
Salt (to taste)
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
12 oz beer
1 egg ((about 2 oz.))
2 lb cod fillets (cut into big pieces)
Ground black pepper (to taste)
Oil (for frying)
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Combine all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl. Whisk in the beer and egg. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
Rinse the cod and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Fill a medium pot with enough oil to cover the fish and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Coat the cod in the batter, then remove it and shake off any excess. Carefully drop the fish into the oil one piece at a time, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 5 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cod from the pot and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a dipping sauce, such as mayo or ketchup.
