Stages of cooking
-
Beat together beer, flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add cod fillets; stir gently until well coated.
-
Mix together cornflake crumbs and Cajun seasoning in a separate medium bowl until well combined. Dip cod in cornflake mixture to thoroughly coat all sides.
-
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry cod in hot oil until golden brown and flesh is easily flaked with a fork. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
