Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
