Beer-Battered Cod

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup beer
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 1/2 pounds cod fillets, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips

1. Whisk together the eggs, beer, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne; add to the egg mixture.
3. Whisk until the batter is well combined; let rest 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large cast-iron or heavy skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375F.
5. Dip the fish strips one at a time into the batter, letting excess drip off.
6. Working in batches, drop carefully into hot oil; fry until the fish is golden and crisp and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
8. Serve immediately.
