| 4 (4 oz) fillets cod | 2 tsp salt |
| Salt and pepper to taste | 2 tsp ground black pepper |
| ½ cup all-purpose flour | ½ egg, beaten |
| 1 tbsp garlic powder | ½ (12 fluid oz) can or bottle beer |

Gather all ingredients
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365°F. Rinse cod fillets, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add egg and stir well to combine. Gradually mix in enough beer to make a thin batter.
Dip cod fillets into the batter to coat. Carefully lower fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil.
Fry several fillets at a time, until golden brown and cooked through.
