Fish and chips with fresh Point Judith day boat cod. I left the house with the intention to buy steamer clams for dinner, but was side tracked by this new item that was not there yesterday and changed tonight's menu on the fly. When I see fresh, small, local cod fillets from a place I trust, I'm all in.
I like to cut the fillet into smaller 1.5 ounce pieces and serve it as help yourself.
I have done a number of mixtures over the years, but have come to the conclusion that this is the best way to go. You simply mix it with water to the consistency of thin pancake mix, dip and fry in 375 F peanut oil in small batches . A super fresh cod fillet will simply melt in your mouth and once you have had the experience, you are spoiled for life! The crispy crust just makes it a perfect meal. Once I open the fry mix, I keep the rest in a jar. I have learned over time that the very first step to frying this up is to take the battery out of the smoke detector.
