Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fillets skin removed and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 Cups flour
  • 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 Cups beer
  • 2 Cups vegetable oil skin removed and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/3 Cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 Teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 Clove garlic crushed
  • 1 Teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  • Mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic and Cajun seasoning. Stir well and set aside.
  • Dry the fish with paper towels and set it aside.
  • In two shallow bowls, divide the flour. Put 1/2 cup of flour in one bowl and the remaining 1 cup of flour in another bowl. To the one cup of flour add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt. Give a good stir. Gradually add the beer to the bowl with one cup of flour. Whisk as you pour until you have a batter that's a little thinner than pancake batter.
  • In a large heavy bottomed skillet, heat the oil over a high heat.
  • Coat the fish in the flour then completely coat in the batter.
  • Drop into the oil and cook for about 2 minutes and then turn them over to finish cooking for another 2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with Cajun Alioli.
