Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt & pepper. Mix it all together.
Step 2
Slowly whisk in the beer until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet (1-2 cups or about 1 inch high) over medium-high heat for about 5 min, or until the temp reaches 325°F.
Step 4
On a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, arrange frozen french fries in an even layer. Bake in the oven according to package instructions, until golden & crisp.
Step 5
Test the frying oil by adding in a small drop of batter. If it quickly crisps up with lots of bubbles, it's ready! Pat the cod dry with a paper towel & dredge it in the beer batter. Shake off the excess batter & carefully add the cod to the oil.
Step 6
Fry the fish, undisturbed, 5-6 min on each side until fully cooked & crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Season with salt.
Step 7
Serve the fried fish with a side of crispy french fries & tartar sauce for dipping. Add some fresh lemon juice if you have. Enjoy!
