Description

Recreate the nostalgic flavor of classic fried fish and chips with this copycat recipe that combines crispy cod, oven-fried potato wedges, and fried zucchini spears.


Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into spears
  • Vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss potato wedges with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until crispy.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  5. Dip each cod fillet first in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep frying pan and fry the cod fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Toss zucchini spears in the same batter and fry until golden and crispy.
  8. Serve the crispy cod with oven-fried chips and fried zucchini spears.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the breaded cod at 425°F for about 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
