  • First, prep the fish. Rinse three pre-thawed steaks well and blot off the excess moisture with a clean towel or paper towels, then season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, rubbing the seasoning into the flesh.
  • Set out three shallow dishes: put breadcrumbs in one, flour in another, and crack an egg into the third, beating it with a fork. Season the contents of each dish with a little salt and ground black pepper.
  • Set a skillet — cast iron is best — over high heat. Pour in the vegetable oil and heat it well. Once it's hot, move on to the main event: frying the fish.
  • Here's the method: Take the first steak and dip it in the flour, skin side down. Then dip it in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Press the steak into the crumbs so they stick in a nice, even crust. Set it on a clean plate and repeat with the rest of the steaks.
  • Now add all the steaks to the hot skillet at once and fry the fish for 5 minutes. Then cover the pan and cook a few minutes more — no longer than 5. This matters, because cod shouldn't be overcooked: it loses flavor and starts to fall apart.
  • Plate the finished steaks. Add your favorite fish sauces, garnish with fresh herbs and lemon or lime wedges or slices, and squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the top. Serve while the fish is still hot.
  • Enjoy, and have a great day!
