Fried Dried Cod
Ingredients

- Lemon 1 piece
- Paprika 2 teaspoons
- Ground Black Pepper a pinch
- Olive Oil 15 fl oz
- Wheat Flour to taste
- Chicken Egg 1 piece
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the cod in a bowl and submerge it in plenty of water. Let it soak for 24–48 hours, changing the water and removing the salt that settles at the bottom of the bowl. Then drain all the water, remove the skin from the cod, pat it dry, and cut it into thin strips.
Step 2
Mix paprika, pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl and add 175 ml of oil. Add the cod and mix well. Cover and let marinate, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
Step 3
Drain the marinade and pat the cod dry with paper towels. Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet to 180–375°F. Place flour on a plate and beat the egg in a bowl.
Step 4
Now dip each strip of fish in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg, and then place in the hot oil a few pieces at a time, frying for 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, keeping warm in a heated dish. Serve immediately.
