- 3 lb cod fillets, cut into large strips
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp seafood seasoning

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the oven.
- In a deep pot fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 325 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Soak it for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry.

- Dredge the fish in the flour, shake off any excess flour, then dip in the beer batter.
- Slowly lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry, a few pieces at a time for about 4 minutes per batch or until golden brown.
- Transfer the fried fish to the prepared baking sheet in the oven and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, stir together the chili powder, seafood seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- With the oil at 375 degrees F, fry the potatoes the second time, in 3 or 4 batches for about 4 minutes per batch until crisp and golden brown.
