🧂 Ingredients

🐟 For the Crispy Cod:

  • 1 lb fresh cod fillets (or haddock, halibut, or pollock)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold sparkling water or club soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

🧅 For the Golden Onion Rings:

  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
  • 1 cup flour (or mix with 1/4 cup cornstarch for extra crisp)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying

🔥 How to Make It

1. Prep the Onion Rings

  • Soak onion rings in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour). This softens them and helps the coating stick.

2. Mix the Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Slowly whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth. Cold batter = extra crispy!

3. Heat the Oil

  • Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350–375°F (175–190°C).

4. Fry the Cod

  • Pat fish dry. Dip into batter, let excess drip off, then carefully lower into hot oil.
  • Fry for 4–6 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
  • Drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

5. Fry the Onion Rings

  • Toss soaked onion rings in seasoned flour.
  • Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • Drain and season immediately.
