Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry cod in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. If the fish is frozen, it must first be thawed at room temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, do not put the fish in hot water. At the same time, it will lose all its juices and become dry. I usually place the fish in a colander the night before. This will allow excess liquid to drain from it.

Step 2

Step 2
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Sprinkle the fish with a little lemon juice. This will remove the overly intrusive fishy smell.

Step 3

Step 3
To prepare the batter, combine eggs with milk and add a little salt and spices. You can use a ready-made set of spices for fish. Mix everything.

Step 4

Step 4
Then add flour and knead the batter. It should be homogeneous, without lumps of flour. To do this, you can use a mixer. Based on the final amount of flour, use the consistency of the batter as a guide. It should be a little thick so that it does not drip off the fish when frying.

Step 5

Step 5
Dip each piece of fish completely into the resulting batter.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat a frying pan until hot and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Place the battered fish in a frying pan and fry it for 2-3 minutes on each side. Make the heat lower so that the fish has time to fry inside and the batter itself does not start to burn.

Step 7

Step 7
The finished pieces of fish will turn an appetizing golden color.

Step 8

Cod in batter in a frying pan is delicious as an independent appetizer for the holiday table. You can also complement the fish with a side dish, for example, mashed potatoes. Bon appetit!
