Make the batter: Mix together the flour, and seasonings in a large bowl. Then add in the beaten egg and mix it in. Then slowly add in the beer mixing it in until it forms a light batter. Let this batter sit for 10 minutes.

Add enough oil to a large pot until it comes up three inches. Place this over high heat until the temperature of the oil reads 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the fish: Once the oil is hot enough, dip a couple of pieces of the cod into the batter. Then lift the pieces of cod out of the batter making sure any excess batter drips off and slowly lower them into the hot oil. Make sure to not fry too many pieces in the pot at once or else it could lower the temperature of the oil rapidly causing the fish to not fry properly. Let the fish fry for about 5 to 7 minutes flipping halfway through until the batter is golden brown. Then remove the cooked fish to a cooling rack and repeat the process until all of the cod pieces are fried.

Enjoy the beer battered cod with either a squeeze of fresh lemon or the more traditional way with a splash of malt vinegar. Enjoy!
