Best Fish and Chips 🐟 recipe follows 🐟
Whether you observe Lent or just love a good old Fish Fry, this is the BEST Fish and Chips.  And it is so easy.  It is better than takeout and is a meal the entire family will enjoy!  XO Babs
🐟INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs cod filets
2 cups flour
1/3 cup corn starch
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp baking powder
1 - 12 oz beer (You can always add a bit more if batter seems too thick - a lager or pilsner work well)
Dash of hot sauce
Lemon wedges for serving
🐟INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat 3 inches of oil in a dutch oven or cast iron, dry the cod well and season with salt and pepper. Mix flour, cornstarch and baking powder, and seasonings together.  Place dry mixture in the freezer until cold.  Lightly dust cod filets with flour mixture.  After lightly dusting the filets with dry mixture, add beer to the dry mixture making a batter.  Add a dash of hot sauce.  Dip the fish one at a time into the batter.  Drain the battered fish on the wire rack for a few minutes to let the excess batter drop off. Heat oil to 375°. Fry fish for about 3-4 minutes.  Or until golden brown.  After frying, remove fish from oil and let it cool on a wire rack.  Do not use paper towels or newspaper as fish will steam.  Place in preheated oven 250 degrees while cooking the rest of the fish just if you’d like to keep them warm! If you are also frying the chips make sure you fry them before the fish 🐠
