Beer Battered Cod

  • 4 x cod fillet, skin removed and pinbones picked
  • Pinch of salt
  • 200g plain flour
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 200ml beer
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 15g fresh yeast
  • Chips and sauce to serve
  • Sprinkle the yeast and sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour in the beer and vinegar, and whisk in the flour and salt. Leave for a few minutes to ferment - when it starts bubbling, it’s ready.
  • Pat the fish dry. Dip the cod fillets into the batter to cover completely, and then fry in 2 cm veg oil for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Drain on kitchen paper, season with salt, and serve with chips and your favourite sides.
