Beat the egg yolks in a bowl.
2 egg yolks
Add salt and pepper.
¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pour in about 1 cup of beer and stir well.
1 ¼ cup beer
Add the flour and baking powder.
¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
Stir until you have a smooth batter.
Is the batter too thick? Add some more beer. It should stick well to the fish.
Heat the oil to 350 ℉ (deep fryer).
sunflower oil
Cut the cod into 2 × 2 inches (5 × 5 cm) pieces.
Sprinkle the fish with the fish spices.
1 ½ pound cod fillets, 1 tablespoon fish spices
Prepare a plate with kitchen paper.
Dip six pieces of fish in the batter.
Carefully lower them into the oil.
Fry the kibbeling for 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain on kitchen paper.
Repeat until everything is done.

1. Can I use another fish? Yes, of course! Hake, haddock, or pollocks also work fine. But cod is still the tastiest.

2. No beer at home? Use sparkling water or non-alcoholic beer.

3. Storage

Refrigerator: Maximum 2 days in a sealed container.
Freezer: Let it cool down first. Freeze with baking paper between the layers.
Reheat: Bake in the oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 10 minutes. This keeps it nice and crispy.
