Step 1:
How to fry cod in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. If the fish is frozen, then it must first be thawed at room temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, it is not necessary to lower the fish into hot water. At the same time, it will lose all the juices and will be dry. I usually put the fish in a colander the night before. So the excess liquid will drain from it.
Step 2:
Pat the cod fillet with paper towels and cut into portions. Sprinkle the fish with a little lemon juice. This will remove the too intrusive fishy smell.
Step 3:
To make the batter, combine the eggs with milk and add a little salt and spices. You can use a ready-made set of spices for fish. Mix everything together.
Step 4:
Then add flour and knead the batter. It should be homogeneous, without lumps of flour. To do this, you can use a mixer. For the final amount of flour, be guided by the consistency of the batter. It should be a little thick so that it does not drain off the fish when frying.
Step 5:
Dip each piece of fish completely into the resulting batter.
Step 6:
Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Put the battered fish in a frying pan and fry it for 2-3 minutes on each side. Make the fire smaller so that the fish has time to fry inside, and the batter itself does not start to burn.
Step 7:
The finished pieces of fish will become an appetizing golden color.
Step 8:
Put the finished fish on a paper towel to remove excess oil from it.
Step 9:
Cod in batter in a frying pan is delicious as an independent snack for a festive table. Also, you can supplement the fish with a side dish, for example, mashed potatoes. Bon appetit!

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a frying pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
