Beer batter fish and chips

Who does fancy a fish with some chips once and awhile? Here is what you will need,

Fish

Beer

Flour

Eggs

Turmeric

French Fries

Mayonaise

Relish

Lemon Juice

To begin mix up your beer batter. Add flour and eggs to the beer until it is thick, so as to coat the fish very well. I like to add some turmeric to the batter to give the fish more of a golden brown color. Then dredge the fish in the flour and dunk it in the batter. Go directly from the batter to a deep fat fryer at 350 degrees. You can also use a pot full of enough hot oil to submerge the fish. While it is frying mix up your tartar sauce. Equal parts relish and mayonaise plus a little lemon juice. You will know the fish is done when it turns golden brown. Serve with french fries and enjoy.

Horseradish Cod

Horseradish encrusted cod is one of my favorite dishes to prepare as well as to serve. Preparation is as follows. You will need,

Eggs

Flour

Bread crumbs

Cod fish

Horseradish

To begin using fresh cod liberally coat the fish with fresh ground horseradish. Next dredge the cod in flour on both sides. After this beat eggs with water to form an eggwash. Make enough eggwash to completely submerge the cod. Submerge your cod in the eggwash and then transer into the bread crumbs. Now you are ready to cook! Leave a cast iron skillet with olive oil in it on the burner until the oil is smoking. The reason we use cast iron is for the hard sear and nice color it will give the cod. Brown the cod on each side and then finish in a 350 degree oven for about ten minutes. I like to serve mine with mashed potatos and vegetables, but many things go well with this dish. I like to garnish with a lemon wedge and a little chopped parsley.
