Crispy Cod Strips with Tartar Dipping Sauce — golden, crunchy fish on the outside and tender, flaky on the inside

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Cod
1. Pat cod strips dry with paper towels.
2. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Coat the Fish
1. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder in a third.
2. Dip each cod strip in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs — pressing gently so they stick well.

3. Fry or Air-Fry
• Fry: Heat oil in a skillet to 180°C (350°F). Fry strips 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
• Air-Fry: Spray coated strips lightly with oil, air-fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway.

Drain on paper towels.

4. Make the Tartar Sauce
1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, lemon juice, capers, and herbs.
2. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Serve the crispy cod strips hot with the tartar dipping sauce and fresh lemon wedges 🍋.
Perfect with fries, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
