Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each cod fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.
- Then dredge the fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fried cod and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For an extra crispy coating, double dip the fillets in buttermilk and flour mixture.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to prevent sogginess.
- You can add spices or herbs to the flour mixture for additional flavor.
