Perfect Fried Cod Recipe

Ty

The best ever and my 3 kiddos couldn’t get enough….i loved this simple recipe which I did add garlic salt and paprika to the panko. I served it with ivars tarter sauce and Mexican rice. I am looking forward to making this again, since my kiddos only left me 2 pieces, bless their hearts LOL. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

First time frying fish like this and omg was it AMAZING!! My husband ate so much he couldn’t move. 😋
Thank you soooo much!

Felicia Garcia

Can this be air fried?

Now that Lent has started, I’m on the lookout for good fish recipes to make on Fridays, so I’m going to put this one into the rotation! I love fish and chips, but it’s so much healthier to make it at home as opposed to getting takeout. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I was skeptical at first since it does not say when to add salt and garlic. But yes it was really good. Very nice recipe. Used cod

This was fantastic! We’ve been trying to incorporate more seafood into our diets and were bored with the same old baked and grilled options. These cod filets turned out golden and crispy! We’re going to make fish tacos with the leftovers! YUM!

I just had to write a review for this. I had never fried my own cod before and just happened to come across this recipe. Immediately, I liked that it addressed the potential for a wet batter to ultimately become soggy.

I followed this recipe and man-oh-man did my first try turn out fabulous. I even kept the first batches on a rack in the oven, as suggested, and that worked perfectly, too. I made the tarter sauce (minus capers, I didn’t have those) and wow. This was soooo, so, so good.

So, thank you so much for this recipe, it really turned out great.

OMG we just had this for dinner along with your tartar sauce recipe, it was an instant hit with my family ♥️ Only thing I changed, with the tartar sauce I used 1/2 cup of sweet cubes instead of dill pickles, & used fresh parsley instead of dill. For sides, I made coleslaw, home fries, & homemade hush puppies. There was absolutely nothing left!

Served this at a dinner party for eight, paired with penne pasta alfredo, roasted asparagus, and a beet salad. No leftovers, and everyone raved. I will definitely be making this again.

(I didn’t want the house smelling of fish and the weather was too lousy to cook outside, so I made the fish in the morning and put it in the refrigerator—on a drying rack inside a sheet pan, with a layer of paper towels on top—and then popped it in a medium oven 20 minutes before serving. Came out perfect.)

Kim

Love this recipe will try that today.

For some reason, your website will NOT print on my printer! It’s automatically blocked! By you! Oh well don’t need your website then!

Just made this for my wife. A hit!
And it’s easy enough that even I can get great results.
Like Angie posted, the hacks were great; much needed by this guy.
Thank you for sharing your time.

Angie

This is soo simple and delicious! I did add some cayenne pepper but otherwise kept to the recipe. The little cooking hacks like putting the fish on a rack over a cookie sheet and frying it in a Dutch oven (sooo much less oil splatter!!!) were helpful also. How have I lived this long and not thought of these things? I used cod and halibut and both turned out great! No tartar sauce needed in my opinion! Haha.

Shelly

Thank you for the recipe. For years I have tried to learn how to fry cod. I kept trying to do it like the fast food fish places with a wet batter and would fail. The mood hit again and I found your recipe. I really liked the simplicity of ingredients. Which made it easy to convert to gluten-free. The fish came out tasty, beautifully moist, flaky, with a wonderful crunchy fried exterior and not at all greasy. This is a keeper!

Hope

Great recipe. Would love to know how you made it gluten free!

Lisa

Can this be made with tilapia instead? If so, would I do everything the same?

Wendy1

Made it GLUTEN FREE, Loved it, will be my go to Cod recipe now!
Thx.

Sue Goodier

Is that a deep pot that you used to fry the cod, rather than a frying pan?

Lisa Creuzer

My goal was to make them look like the picture., I did! I never used panko before, now, probably nothing else! It was delicious. Thank you!

Gretchen

This is quite good, and easy! My 12-year-old made it for dinner tonight. We have a gluten-free family member and subbed Bobs Red Mill 1:1 flour and GF Panko and it tasted fantastic.
Thanks for the awesome recipe! We will make again

Phil

Excellent beyond belief. Made it for dinner tonight and my wife who isn’t a big fish fan could not stop raving on how much she loved the taste of the cod. I used my deep fat fryer for the cod, kept it warm in the oven while I fried some french fries (chips). I added some pineapple coleslaw on the side and voila, one fabulous meal. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Jack Baker

Excellent! I just made this recipe after a cod fiasco earlier in the week. I had a couple of filets that still needed to be cooked and I’m glad I found this recipe. I mixed Lawry’s Garlic Salt in with the bread crumbs and cooked the fish in olive oil. This is a winning recipe that I plan to use for all my future fish frys.

Beth Pierce

Gave this a try for dinner last night and it was perfectly crispy! Going to have it again, tonight!

Taylor

Yum!! The breading looks perfectly crispy and delicious!

Demeter

You really nailed the crispiness on this! Looks fantastic!

Jade

This is my eldest Son’s favorite dish, I’ve never made my own before, this will make my Son’s day!
