Recipe 54- Cod fish deep fried

This is a traditional greek dish we prepare today the 25th of March, to celebrate the Independence day (in 1821 we declared the war of independence against the Turks) and the Annunciation of Theotokos.
In Greece you can find fish cod fillet dried and salted. So we usually have to put it in the water in order to desalt it and make it edible.
It is better of course to find fresh cod fillets.

Ingredients

4 fresh cod fish fillet
1 can of beer
2-3 cups flour
1 egg
olive oil for frying
salt/pepper


In a deep pot put the oil and heat over high temperature. In a large bowl mix together the flour and beer. Then beat in the egg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the fillets inside the mix and make sure they are totally covered. Fry the fillets for 5 min each side or until golden brown.
