FAQ
Cod is a lean fish that dries out quickly. Do not fry pieces thicker than 3–4 cm for more than 3–4 minutes per side. Pat the fish dry with paper towels before frying — moisture prevents a crust from forming. The oil should be well heated to 170–180°C. Remove the fish from the heat as soon as it starts to flake easily.

Нормальна! Хороший продукт - трудно испортить!
Cook the fish skin-side down for 70% of the time for fried cod. The skin renders its fat and creates a natural barrier that keeps the flesh incredibly moist. One confident flip for the final 30% is all you need.
