Why You’ll Love This Crispy Battered Cod and Onion Rings Combo

Combining two classic favorites creates the ultimate seafood platter. The light, airy batter crisps up beautifully on both the flaky cod fillets and sweet onion rings, while the double-fry technique ensures maximum crunch. Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides for a complete meal.

Ingredients for Crispy Battered Cod and Onion Rings

For the Batter:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ cups ice-cold beer or sparkling water

For the Cod and Onion Rings:

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced into ½-inch rings
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

How to Make Crispy Battered Cod and Onion Rings

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until smooth. The batter should coat the back of a spoon but still be slightly runny.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

Fill a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with 3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 350°F (175°C) using a deep-fry thermometer. Maintain this temperature throughout cooking.

Step 3: Fry the Onion Rings

Dip onion rings in batter, letting excess drip off. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes until light golden. Drain on paper towels. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4: Fry the Cod

Pat cod fillets dry, then dip in batter. Carefully lower into hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.

Step 5: Double Fry for Extra Crispiness

Return onion rings to hot oil for 1 minute for extra crispness. Do the same with cod if desired. Season immediately with salt.

Serving Suggestions for Your Seafood Platter

Arrange the crispy battered cod and onion rings on a large platter with lemon wedges. Serve with:

Tips for Perfect Crispy Battered Seafood

  • Keep batter cold for maximum crispiness

  • Pat fish and onions dry before battering
  • Serve immediately for best texture

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free beer or sparkling water.

What’s the best oil for frying?

Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil work best for their high smoke points and neutral flavors.

Can I bake instead of fry?

While baking won’t achieve the same crispiness, you can bake at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it will make the batter soggy.

This crispy battered cod and onion rings platter brings the fish and chips experience home with minimal effort. The contrast between the flaky cod and sweet onion rings makes every bite exciting, while the golden batter delivers that satisfying crunch we all crave in fried seafood.
