2. Pat cod dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Whisk next 7 ingredients together in a large bowl until combined. Remove ½ cup of mixture and stir in cornstarch. Add to mixture.

4. Slowly pour beer into remaining mixture, whisking until smooth and desired consistency, or drip light ribbon trails over remaining batter.
