Hi Scott, I'm 55 in a weeks time and after all these years, I decided to start learning to cook about 3 weeks ago. I really am a complete beginner Scott and I started cooking baby potatoes, corn on the cob and fresh carrots in a steamer and the taste was really lovely, but I also tried cooking salmon in the steamer as well, but found it very dry and boring. Two nights ago, I tried to duplicate with cod what you are superbly teaching here and because your explanations were so so brilliant, I ended up with a meal, where the cod was absolutely jaw droppingly tasteful. moist and I loved it sooooo much! I did struggle to remove the skin 100 percent, but when I took a mouthful of that cod, god, I suddenly realised that I really can learn to cook, if I have excellent teachers like yourself showing me the way. Scott, I want to thank you millions for sharing your skills and although I sliced the top of my thumb off a few nights ago with a carving knife trying to chop parsley (told you I was a complete beginner - 4 stitches later), you have instilled in me so much belief, that I CAN cook! Tonight, I also tracked down your other video, cooking cod with the skin on and found that it tasted even better, (if that is at all possible). I think this is because I never squeezed so much lemon this time, but I guess that’s a personal preference. Scott, I owe you big time mate, I really do. Many thanks, Terry

Terry i hope you don't ever eat Bass lol. for salmon, all i do is cook it in a pan with olive oil. but put "Salmon Magic from Chef Prudhomme" on it. you can find that seasoning pretty easily in most stores or online. seriously, that is all you need. i love cooking, just an amateur, but i make great food. i hope u follow through and do it. you can add it to any fish really but so good with salmon. add seasoning to fish, rub it in. then add a bit of oil to fish or pan so it doesn't stick too bad. cook 3-5 minutes per side. so easy and the best!!!! if you like chicken and want to save money, buy thighs. same situation.......add seasoning like "montreal seasoning" and pan cook. cooking is so easy and really important so you are healthy. eat as much raw veggies as possible. cooking veggies kills a lot of nutrients and enzymes. salads all the time!! ok i stop blabbing

I’m so excited to see a 12 year old enjoying this simple recipe! My 12 year old asked me to make cod and out of all the recipes on KZread, I’ve decided to go with this one! Mainly because I’m just getting the hang of decent cooking and grilling, and because most of the cod recipes encourage a lot of seasoning, herbs and spices, but my 12 yr old and I prefer the natural flavor of fish and steak without heavy seasoning! Plus, this recipe will allow able to break in my new nontoxic chemical free Caraway frying pan! Can’t wait! 😋👏🏼

THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE FINEST WAY I HAVE EVER COOKED FRIED COD AND AT 77 I WISH I HAD DONE IT 60 YEARS AGO ,ABSOLUTELY 1ST CLASS AND I AM A CARPENTER,NOTHING FLASH BOG STANDARD TESCO COD LOINS.NO EGG TASTE AT ALL. THANKS A MILLION . YOU ARE THE MASTER FRYER. ALL THE BEST TONY T. KEEP A GOOD LIGHT

Wow ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL,58 YEARS ON THIS EARTH AND I NEVER KNEW You COULD THIS!!! THANX SOOOO MUCH

I've prepared your recipe 4-6 times. Each time I come back here to hear you encourage us again! Thanks again and again!

I saw this video about 5 weeks ago and I have cooked this several times, and for those asking IT'S DAMN GOOD!

Thanks, I turn 4 years old in 3 days and I absolutely positively love this recipe. Thank you so much!

Had fish in fridge couldn’t be bothered to make fish pie, saw this and pan cooked it, beautiful!

I'm an 80-y-o Yank and I've been frying skinless cod like this all my life. One added step, though. After the egg wash, dip the fish in a seasoned bit of bread crumbs. The coating will be crunchy and the taste is stupendous. Enjoy.

Followed this exactly and it turned out just as good as promised! Best fish I've ever cooked! Thank you.

Thanks from across the pond, Kentucky in fact. Straight to the point. An informative precise concise video. Hat's off.

Cod in heaven. I am not the biggest Cod fan, but after trying your recipe and tip for keeping it in one piece, I have been converted and seen the light. It flaked as it should but the flakes stayed in one piece and it was moist all the way through...Superb! Cheers, Simon.

I’m from Newfoundland, Canada and this is the way I’ve cooked cod my whole life and it’s great method for cooking most fish. Thank you very much!

No idea how i stumbled upon this vid but I'll use that technique cooking fish for the rest of my life. Thanks for posting. Peace from the US.

Literally just cooked this up. Amazing, the fish was soft and juicy, tasted like it was from a healthier alternative fish n chip shop. Loved it

This worked perfect I followed step by step this was the first time i was pan fried cod and it turned out perfect. It tasted great it looked great.

Cooked this recipe tonight, have to say it was the best piece of cod i have ever tasted. It cooked to perfection in 7 mins, and not a hint of egg. Thank you so much for sharing.

I cooked this for my wife and she was amazed. First time cooking it and I followed your simple steps. Thanks, It's definitely going in my menu rotation.

the eastiest best cod I ever made. Many thanks Mr .Practical!

Heavenly cod! OMG this recipe is amazing. Thank you

These cooking videos of Scott Rea’s should be put into the British National Archive. It’s good authentic English cooking, and it tastes amazing no matter where you’re from. Love the trick with the flour, that’s new for me:)

Thank you for posting! I am looking forward to trying this simple preparation of Cod. So happy I found this video~

Scott...you nailed it with this recipe and cook style! Thanks!

That simply looks wonderful. I love cod.

I've never made cod before and this was absolutely amazing! I served it up with some pan fried potatos with shallots and chives. I'll be making this every week now I'm sure.

Thanks Scott, I followed your instructions to the letter and ate the best cod fillet I've ever had! Simple, quick and delicious.

This was delicious! Best cod i ever had! Highly recommend this method, thank you for sharing :)

Thanks for this. Just finished a 3 day juice detox and wanted some healthy white fish to get back into solid food. I have never cooked cod before and had no idea of how too. Followed the instructions exactly and it came out perfect. Will definatley follow this again!

Just cooked it Usually hate cooking fish as I always over cook it , but that was brilliant absolute perfection Thank you

I just cooked frozen cod and used this method and it turned out incredible.. Some of the best fish I have ever eaten. Thank you Scott.

I was set to make beer battered cod until I realized I forgot the beer so I tried this instead and it was absolutely delicious. The egg and light dusting of flour basically formed a cocoon that made it extra tasty and looked great too. Thanks for the video!

Hello Scott, I was wanting something different for dinner and I stumbled across your channel. I couldn't stop watching! Next thing I knew I was headed to the grocery store. It was easy and tasted AMAZING!!! My wife couldn't stop eating it. Thank you for sharing... I am sure to be a follower of yours. As an earlier comment stated "a healthier alternative to Fish-n-Chips".

I tried this 4 days ago ,it was great. Today i bought more cod. Thank you so much. This was my 1st time doing cod.

I tried it tonight and it is now my favorite way to prepare fish. Absolutely delicious! Thanks Scott!

Love what I just saw, going to give this a try for my first cod fillet! Here's hoping this will cheer my wife up!!

Have to give you your due. BEST cod ever! I'll never make it another way. Wonderful.

After 50 years of wondering and once trying the egg on BEFORE the flour I have just today learnt jow to do it properly,!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH for this enlightening video....(.and the entertaining subtitles!!)I 'll be looking at more of your tips for sure!!!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you Scott!

I just made this at home first time EVER cooking fish and it turned out to be REALLY great so thank you very much for this recipe!! 5 stars :D

I tried this recipe and the fish was outstanding! Thank you so much for posting this video sir. My wife asked me to cook this dish, over and over again with extra lemon and butter sauce and it's a big hit every time. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe.

Thank you so much my husband brought home skinless cod (I've only made cod cakes after cooking cod in oven) I found your utube and followed it. The cod was fantastic Thank you again! My husband kept saying how good it was. We will be checking out what else you have.

This is my ONLY way to cook cod. Perfect technique! Just made some this morning, awesome! Thanks!

I have cooked this today, it was delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe, great stuff.

I just tried your recipe and the cod fillets turned out perfect. I did add some fresh dill to the flour to give it a little extra flavor. I'm going to make fish more often. Thank you!

Giving it a try tonight. Really enjoyed watching the step by step video.

Tried this last night. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the video!

"What more could you ask for?" A few beer-battered chips :D

What a super friendly, down to earth recipe. You are a classy guy, Scott Rea.

This truly is SOOOOOOO GOOD! I used about 1/3 of that knob of butter to make it feel like I'm being healthy about it but otherwise followed these directions and it is super tasty!

Can't wait to try this! Thank you for the tips!

That flour trick is pretty traditional in my experience. I have a cod fillet. I will try your recipe. Salt, pepper, lemon; all staples. I look forward to it!

This is the video where i learned how to cook cod and man!!!!! Some of the best fish i ever tasted.

Dude... the BEST way I've ever cooked cod, Thank You!!!

I cannot stop eating this fish. OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!

I had already put blackened fish seasoning on my cod when I found this video, but I did the flour and egg coating over it and pan fried it just lile you did. Turned out awesome! Thanks for this. :)

A delightfully easy and delicious recipe....thank you. This is a keeper !

I’ve been professional chef nearly 50 years now and had to try this at home for my wife! Wow , despite the cod being thicker then yours and leaving skin on which took slightly longer then 7 minutes. It was amazing, especially the lemon juice and butter basting , thanks for the inspiration 🙌

Only saw this earlier in the week and tried it tonight... it really is sensationally good! The missus loved it too and gave it a 10/10. Nice one Scott 👍

Just tried it without egg. Still works greatly. Thank you so much!

I am 61 and I want to say a big thank you for the recipe I can tell you it was the nicest piece of smoked cod I've ever tasted. Will be trying to use same method for monk fish and haddock I'm sure it will be as good glad to have seen this video.

I made this recipe a couple weeks ago and it was great! Tonight I'm gonna try using panko breading after the egg wash for my wife who prefers a bit of a crunch. I also add a couple of lemon halves to the pan after turning the fish and let them fry, they make a nice garnish.

I just cooked my cod for supper and it was the best I have ever tasted, better than most fish n chips shops. However I didn't have lemon am sure it will hv tasted even better. Thank you Scott my family enjoyed your recipe.

I’m from Boston. The land of the Bean and the Cod. By far and wide the most important food fish on earth. I’m gonna try this recipe! My mother would dip ground fish fillets (haddock, cod, flounder) in flour and egg, then fry. What she didn’t do was use butter and lemon after. She just fried it in canola oil, not pan sear. Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you.

Great video, the commentary, reverence for the fillet of cod. Love it!

I felt the skin on the a cod but,still cooked it like this! It was Magnificent . I used Cornflower because that's all I had. You never tasted the egg. Good trick Thank You!

I totally abused this recipe when I first tried it, since being a college kid I was forced to make some strange substitutions... but it ended up really delicious anyways! Solid instructions, thank you for posting Scott. c: Here's what I substituted when I made my own: -"Donut Cookie" flour instead of regular flour. I got a ton of these as a gift from bf's mom, and I had no regular flour in the apt. sooo... it was the strangest thing but still worked well! -Frozen cod instead of fresh. I'm in the middle of the continent, so fresh isn't practical. I got this cod since my family had bought it but never wanted to make it. -Diet Mountain Dew instead of Lemon Juice. Odd, but it's what I had! xD -Canola Oil instead of Olive. My mom doesn't like olive, so when she gets me groceries she always gets me canola. Oh well... -Fresh green onions on top afterwards, just to spice it up. Green onions go well with a lot of stuff c:

great video. I got a nice piece of cod today and I can't wait to try. excellent explaining of every step. cheers!!!

My Mother was from NFLD. This is similar to how she fried her delicious Cod just minus the butter. I could never make it like she did- never was like hers. Haven’t tried in years to make it but because my daughter misses this dish so much and would like to teach her daughter I’ll be giving it another try! 🙂 Thank you for your video!

Second time I've watched this, Scott. Giving it a go tonight. Looks delicious. Thanks.

Thank you sir! A simple fast and delicious cod fix

I did it and it was very good! Thanks for sharing this video. I'm so much more comfortable now frying cod which is one of my favs.

Very cool, I've never cooked a cod fillet before tonight and this evening i watched this and made it for my wife and she loved it so thank you very much.

I wish I'd seen this years ago. I wasted a perfectly good cod loin because I didn't know to do this method. Works fantastic. thank you Scott.

I coat my cod loin with seasoned flour, put it in a cast iron skillet with butter and olive oil, fry at medium for 2 minutes on each side, then place the skillet of loin in the oven at 350 F for appx. 7 minutes, i have never had a problem with the loin falling apart.

Most excellent Scott! great information and I thoroughly enjoyed the way you presented it. Jolly good show!

I have lived next to the western shoreline of Lake Michigan for decades, where Friday night fish frys of fresh lake perch were the norm at every little restaurant, most places almost always dipped the filets in heavy batter before frying. I stopped eating breaded fish back in the early eighties. I had a taste for fried fish today instead of broiled, this method turned out excellent, just a light crust on the very outside, I could taste the delicate fish, not breading, perfect. Thanks.

OMG...it's perfect TY!

Love your enthusiasm!
