Tremendous Crispy Cod & Golden Onion Rings Platter

Best enjoyed fresh while the fish and onion rings are crispy.

Leftover fried cod can be reheated in a convection oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Onion rings are best eaten immediately; they can be reheated in the oven but won’t be as crunchy.

Variations

Beer-Battered Cod: Substitute the egg/milk coating with a light beer batter for an extra golden crunch.

Spicy Onion Rings: Add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the batter for a kick.

Baked Option: For a healthier version, bake cod fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, then broil briefly for crispness.
