• Cut the cod into 4-inch sections. Place in a glass or earthenware bowl, cover with cold water and soak overnight.

• Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and lift out the cod with a slotted spoon. Remove the bones and the black skin.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, water, salt and baking powder to make a thin batter.
• Dip the cod in batter and fry in hot oil (about ½ inch deep) on both sides, then lower heat and cook until tender, turning once again.
• Serve hot with skordalia which is cold or room temperature.
• Note: If the cod is excessively salty, change water 2 or 3 times during the soaking period.
