Dinner time:
Crispy Cod.
You are going to need:
3 Cups of flour
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1 Tablespoon of lemon pepper seasoning
3 Large fresh fillets of boneless Cod, or whatever fish you like
1 Pinch of salt
1 Quart of vegetable oil
3 Eggs
2 cups of crushed cornflake crumbs
In a medium sized bowl, mix the eggs, flour, salt, lemon pepper seasoning and the cornstarch.
Cut the cod fillets to your desired size.
Add your crushed cornflake crumbs to another bowl
Dip the cod pieces into your mix then dip them in your crushed cornflake crumbs, put your oil into a medium sized deep frying pan, heat to 350 degrees, once it is heated put your coated cod into the oil but please be careful it will be hot, fry the fish until golden brown and flesh is easily flaked with a fork. Take out and let stand on a plate with paper towels and let the excess oil drain off about 5 minutes. Once there done you can serve.
I hope you like this recipe I love it and have been making it for years, just make sure it is cooked before serving.
Okay, now, what movie goes with delicious deep fried goodness, well, there is only one movie I can think of and that is:
The Goonies
I love the Goonies, it is a well made and well written movie, plus it was filmed 60 miles from where I live. I have been to the Goonies house many times and have visited the places around Astoria where it was filmed. This movie follows A band of kids who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, attempt to save their homes from foreclosure and, in doing so, they discover an old treasure map that takes them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century pirate. During the adventure, they are chased by a family of criminals who want the treasure for themselves. So sit back, get comfortable and enjoy one of the greatest films ever made while you enjoy your Crispy Cod. So, with that, lets get to the Goonies story shall we:
Facing foreclosure of their homes in the Goon Docks area of Astoria, Oregon, to an expanding country club, a group of children who call themselves "the Goonies" gather for a final weekend together. The Goonies include optimist lead Goonie Mikey Walsh, his older brother Brandon, the inventive Data, the talkative Mouth, and the overweight klutz Chunk.
Rummaging through the Walshes' attic, they come across a 1632 doubloon and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the treasure of legendary pirate “One-Eyed Willy” believed to be located somewhere nearby. Mikey considers “One-Eyed Willy” to be the original "Goonie." The kids evade Brandon and make their way to an abandoned restaurant on the coast that coincides with the map; Brandon soon follows alongside Andy, a cheerleader with a crush on him; and Stef, Andy's friend. The group quickly discovers the derelict restaurant is a hideout of the Fratelli crime family: Francis, Jake, and their mother Mama. The Goonies find a tunnel in the basement and follow it, but Chunk is captured by the Fratellis and imprisoned with their hulking, deformed younger brother Sloth. The Fratellis interrogate Chunk until he reveals where the Goonies have gone, and begin pursuit. Chunk is left behind with Sloth but befriends him. After Sloth frees both of them, Chunk calls the police and he and Sloth follow the Fratellis.
The Goonies evade several deadly booby traps along the tunnels while staying ahead of the Fratellis. Finally, they reach the grotto where Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno, is anchored. The group discovers the ship is filled with treasure and they start filling their pockets, but Mikey warns them not to take any on a set of scales in front of Willy, considering that to be their tribute to him. As they leave the ship, the Fratellis appear and strip them of their loot. They make the Goonies walk the plank until Chunk arrives with Sloth and distracts the Fratellis long enough for the Goonies to jump overboard. The Fratellis proceed to grab all the treasure they can, including those on Willy's scales; this triggers another booby trap that causes the grotto to cave in. With Sloth's help, the Goonies and Fratellis barely escape.
The two groups emerge on Astoria's beach, where they reunite with the Goonies' families and the police. The Fratellis are arrested, but Chunk prevents Sloth from also being taken; he invites Sloth to live with him, which he accepts. As the kids describe their adventure to their parents, the Walshes’ housekeeper, Rosalita discovers that Mikey's marble bag is filled with gems he took from the ship and had not been seized by the Fratellis. Mikey's father triumphantly rips up the foreclosure papers, declaring they have enough money to negate the foreclosure. As the Goonies celebrate, they see the Inferno, having broken free of the grotto, sailing off on its own in the distance.
