The crust on this cod sticks perfectly, fried up golden brown and crisp. We’ve never had fried fish from Luby’s so we can’t speak to its authenticity… but we can say this is mighty good fried cod. There are not a lot of seasonings in the recipe, so the flavor of the fish shines. The homemade tartar sauce is the perfect complement to the fish. This makes a lot of tartar sauce. The recipe can easily be cut in half and you’ll still have enough for dinner.
