Preparation
- Season the cod pieces generously with sea salt and let them rest on paper towels at room temperature for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Meanwhile, prepare the batter by mixing 60g of flour in a small bowl.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining 120g of flour with paprika, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the beer until a smooth batter forms.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 185°C (365°F (185°C)), using a fry thermometer to maintain the temperature.
- Dredge the cod pieces in the reserved flour, shaking off excess, then dip them into the beer batter.
- Fry the fish in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet, for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a kitchen spider or tongs and drain on a wire rack.
Plating & Serving
Serve the crispy beer-battered cod immediately with sauce gribiche on the side.
Notes
