Batter for cod
Description
Besides cod, you can use other types of fish, for example, hake or smelt. However, cod is the most suitable—it's moderately fatty and filling. This fish goes well with mashed potatoes, porridge, or salads. It's very simple and quick to prepare. The fish develops a beautiful golden crust, while the inside remains tender and juicy.
