📝 Preparation Steps

To make the tartar sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice and dill pickle juice. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper (I like 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Cover and allow to chill for 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

To make the beer battered cod:

Prepare a plate lined with paper towels. Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven until it is 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne. When the oil is almost ready, add the light beer to the flour mixture and gently whisk until smooth.

Using tongs, lift pieces of fish and dredge through batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Gently keep the pieces moving in the oil so the filets don't stick to the bottom or to each other.

Fry until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit on a digital thermometer, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent pieces from sticking to one another.

Remove the fried fish from the oil and allow to drain briefly on paper towels. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with aluminum foil to keep fried fish warm.

Allow the oil to return to 375 degrees and batter and fry the remaining fish. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
