ingredients
- canola oil (for frying)
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1⁄2 cups beer
- 2 1⁄2 - 3 lbs cod, cut into individual pieces (about 3x5 inches each)
- malt vinegar, for serving
directions
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet or pan over Medium/High heat, or heat it in a fryer to 375.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, paprika, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Gradually stir in beer and stir until smooth to make batter.
- Dip fish pieces into the batter, drain briefly, then put into the hot oil. Make sure that you only put enough pieces into the pan or fryer that will fit without having them touch or the breading will get knocked off of them.
- Cook for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through (2 minutes each side), until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and keep warm in the oven until all pieces are finished.
- Serve with malt vinegar and french fries (optional). Wrap up in a newspaper cone for an authentic British treat!

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
