cup flour, cornstarch, beer, and egg to make the
batter and sit the bowl over the bowl of ice to

Pour canola oil into a dutch oven or cast iron
skillet to a depth of 3 in and heat to 375
degrees on a thermometer.
Dredge the pieces of cod in the flour mixture,
then into the batter (let excess drip off) and
carefully drop 4 to 5 pieces per batch into the
oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned
and crisp then remove to a baking sheet with a
cooling rack.
Wrap your corn tortillas in a damp paper towel
