Thick cut cod, toss it in finely ground corn meal, then dunk it in a batter of flour, salt, and seltzer water. This works best if you have a 'deep fryer'. Then all you do is suspend the fish in the oil for a second or two (the batter balloons up and at that point it won't stick to other pieces in the fryer) then release it and take it out when the batter is golden brown. ---Thanks for the reminder, a friday fish-fry sounds lovely---
