Simple and Yummy! We think it's better than Ivar's fish and chips which is the best fast food fish and chips in the USA! Try this Recipe #406770 with it. ***Please note that the nutrition facts are a little misleading - you will not be using all of the flour/salt dredge mixture and most of the shortening will still be in the pan when you are done cooking.***

Heat the fat until the end of a wooden spoon bubbles, about 375*.
Mix flour with salt and pepper in a flat dish.
Mix egg and water in a bowl.
Dredge cod pieces on all sides and shake off excess flour.
Dip dredged pieces into egg wash and shake off excess egg.
Dip into flour once again and shake off excess flour.
