Two cod fillets sit in a beer-style batter, sold frozen and ready to cook from chilled or frozen, depending on the pack instructions. Usually baked in the oven, they come out with a crisp shell around flaky white fish. Compared with other frozen fish options in the range, the batter keeps it closer to classic fish-and-chips territory than plain fillets or breaded alternatives. Cod is a mild, clean-tasting white fish that takes well to battering, and the beer in the recipe adds a slight yeasty depth to the coating as it crisps up. Serve alongside thick-cut chips and a wedge of lemon for a proper Friday night supper without the chip shop queue.
