Ingredients

  • 4 cod fish fillets (or haddock or Talapia)

  • 2 cups oil (Costco Mediterranean blend)

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil using low-medium heat in medium pan.

    Use extra flour to lightly but completely coat fish. Use a freezer bag and shake or put flour on plate and dredge.

    Add the lemon juice.
  6. 6
    Take one fillet of fish at a time and holding it by the tail or thin end, swirl it around the batter until well coated - plunge into hot fat immediately.
  7. 7
    As soon as it has crisped up and set, add your other fillets one at a time, taking out the first ones as they cook - about 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness, flipping half way through. Place onto a tray and keep warm in the oven.
