Djúpsteiktur fiskur

Baked fish

For this Icelandic "fried fish" recipe I used "Þorskhnakkar", i.e. "cod snack".

By the way, in Iceland it is customary to eat the skin of fish, especially cod / halibut. After all, life in Iceland was so meager for centuries that people could not afford to throw anything edible away. Furthermore, the skin should be very rich in vitamins. In any case, it doesn't taste bad!


Ingredients

750 g halibut
240 g flour
200 ml milk
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 pinch of pepper

2 Tbsp oil for frying


Preparation

To make the dough, first mix the flour with the milk, eggs, salt and pepper and let the dough stand for about half an hour.

Cut the cod into large pieces.

Heat the oil in a large pan.

Dip the fish pieces into the batter and then fry them in the hot oil.

Then serve the fried fish in the classic way with vegetables and potatoes.
