Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs frozen cod (thawed )
1 cup flour ( unbleached prefered)
1/2 cup flour (for dredging)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp paprika
12 oz beer (bottle or can)
canola oil (for the deep fryer)

Directions:

FOR BEST RESULTS: A couple hours before making the batter, open the can/bottle of beer & let set open at room temperature.
Fill your deep fryer to the recommended amount w/ canola oil.
Turn the the the fryer on to 350° to 375°.
If need be, cut the fish into 2 inch pieces.
Rinse the fish in cold water & pat dry with paper towel.
Place the 1/2 cup flour & the cornstrach in a zip-lock type bag.
Add the fish to the bag & toss until all the fish is well coated - set aside.
Sift together all the remaining dry ingredients,.
Stir in the beer until you have a smooth, thin batter - when coatig the fish, you should be able to just barely see the fish throught the batter.
Dip the fish into the batter & carefully place into pre-heated deep fryer - fry 3-4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your fryer.
Fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve w/ your favorite sauce &/or lemon juice.
ENJOY!
HINT: If frying cheese curds, freeze the curds for AT LEAST an hour before frying & the fry for only 1-2 minutes - watch carefully so not to overcook!
