PROS

It’s a great dish to enjoy with friends and family, as it’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

CONS

Deep-fried foods are high in calories and fat, so this recipe is not suitable for those following a low-calorie or low-fat diet.

Additionally, the use of beer in the batter means that this recipe is not alcohol-free.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Cod is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to reducing inflammation and improving heart health.
However, it should be noted that deep-frying fish can negate some of these benefits, so it’s best to enjoy this dish in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
