Ingredients

for the batter

165 ml beer which is about a cup or ½ small can

1 egg white (beaten into meringue)

¾ cup ice cold water

1 ½ cup of all purpose flour

½ cup corn flour (corn starch)

1 spoonful of lemon juice

2 spoonfuls of olive oil

Salt

White pepper

Preparation of Cod

Ingredients

1 kilo salted dried codfish fillet

extra virgin olive oil for deep frying

Remove excess salt from cod, remove skin, cut into pieces and place in a large bowl with water which you will change at least 3-4 times.

This procedure needs at least 24 hours to prepare. If cod is not a fillet bones will also have to be carefully removed.

Directions

For the batter

Beat the egg white into meringue. In a separate bowl put the flour, corn flour, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, beer and mix. Add water gradually until batter is thick. With a spoon mix in the meringue. Refrigerate for at least an hour before battering fish.

Frying

In a large frying pan put the olive oil over high heat.

Dip the cod in the batter and fry on both sides.

Remove on kitchen paper to drain excess oil and serve with the skordalia and your favourite vegetables and French fries the Greek way.
