Ingredients
- ¾ lb cod fillets, skinless
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ lb frozen french fries
- 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 cups neutral oil (for frying)
- ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- 1
Pat cod dry with paper towels. Cut into 2-inch pieces. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 350°F over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Test with a cube of bread — it should sizzle instantly.
- 3
Toss cod pieces in flour until coated. Shake off excess. Carefully lower into hot oil in batches; do not overcrowd.
- 4
Fry until golden and crispy, turning once, about 4–5 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt immediately.
- 5
Meanwhile, bake frozen fries in a separate oven at 400°F for 12 minutes, or pan-fry in the skillet (in batches) until golden, 8 minutes.
- 6
Toss shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp chili sauce. Serve kibbeling, fries, slaw, and remaining chili sauce alongside.
