π§ Ingredients
π For the Crispy Cod:
- 1 lb fresh cod fillets (or haddock, halibut, or pollock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold sparkling water or club soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
π§ For the Golden Onion Rings:
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 cup flour (or mix with 1/4 cup cornstarch for extra crisp)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
π₯ How to Make It
1. Prep the Onion Rings
- Soak onion rings in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour). This softens them and helps the coating stick.
2. Mix the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Slowly whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth. Cold batter = extra crispy!
3. Heat the Oil
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350β375Β°F (175β190Β°C).
4. Fry the Cod
- Pat fish dry. Dip into batter, let excess drip off, then carefully lower into hot oil.
- Fry for 4β6 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Donβt overcrowd the pan.
- Drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
5. Fry the Onion Rings
- Toss soaked onion rings in seasoned flour.
- Fry in batches for 2β3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Drain and season immediately.
