Tips
- Substitute wild-caught cod with pollock or haddock.
- Cut fish into chicken finger-like shapes.
- Adjust batter consistency with water or flour.
- Ensure oil is hot enough by testing with a drop of batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Pan-frying helps the batter cling to the fish better than deep-frying.
- Add pickle juice to the tartar sauce
