Beer Battered Cod - Deep Fried-Traditional Newfoundland
Hi and welcome to our website!
I'm so excited to share with you our recipe and video tutorial for our beer battered cod to make yours today!!!
I guess I could start by telling you that everyone knows that deep fried foods are not good for you, but anything in moderation is ok for anyone.
So haven said that!
I'm going to sell you on this amazing beer battered cod recipe, made with the prefect amount of seasonings and deep fried for a few minutes on a high temperature then left to rest for another few minutes before serving....
You can use a light beer or a dark beer the only thing makes a difference is the beer would need to frizz when you pour it in the mixture of ingredients. You can use the full can or half and then some water, it is up to you.
You also can make your seasonings and flour in advance and keep in a ziplock bag and put in your fridge until you are ready to add in all of the wet ingredients.

Ingredients
- Fresh Cod - 2 Fillets cut into 8 pieces
- Flour - 1 Cup
- Garlic Powder - 1 Tbsp
- Paprika - 1 Tbsp
- Sea Salt - 1 Tsp
- Onion Powder - 1 Tsp
- Black Pepper - 1 Tbsp or less
- Celery Salt - ½ Tsp
- Ground Thyme - ½ Tsp
- Ketchup - 1 Tbsp
- Egg - 1 Large
- Beer - 1 Can of Choice
- Vegetable Oil - As needed
- Deep Fryer - Approved Fryer NOT stove top
Instructions
Deep Fryer with lid and Vegetable Oil, never deep fry on stove top.Â
Method:
Oil Temperature: 350°F,   Prep-Time: 15 Minutes,Â
Deep Fryer Time: 40 Minutes cooking time all together, that's 10 minutes for two pieces frying at a time.Â
Rinse with cold water the cod fillets, pat dry with paper towel, then season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper sit aside.
In a large bowl, add all the spices, flour, ketchup, egg then stir in beer.
Place all codfish pieces in the beer batter and equally coat with batter.
Preheat the deep fryer to 350°F, after slowly placing two pieces of codfish in the vegetable oil.
DON’T OVER CROWD FRYER.
This will stop the batter from sticking to the grill in the fryer.
Fry codfish for 5 Minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove from the rack unto a plate with a paper towel on the bottom to soak up oil.
Continue until all the cod is deep fried.
Bonita’s Tips:Â
Serve hot to keep the crust crispy and with a side dish of choice.Â
Keep warm in the oven on 250ºF until ready to serve. DON’T COVER!
