- Start by taking 4 thick loins of fresh cod. Dust them lightly with a pinch of flour, shaking off any excess so they’re just coated.
- In a pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over low heat. You want the oil hot enough for frying but not so hot that it starts to smoke.
- Dip the floured cod loins into 1 beaten egg, ensuring they're coated well, then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for about 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cod.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently turn the cod to fry the other side. Cook until it’s golden and crispy, revealing the juicy pink flesh inside.
- Once cooked, remove the cod from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm, enjoying every crunchy bite!
