Instructions

• 2 Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, dill, lemon juice, Worcestershire
  sauce, and hot sauce in a small bowl and mix until evenly blended. Taste and
  season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• 3 Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
• 4 In a large bowl combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley,
  paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the whisked egg and beer and combine with a whisk
  until evenly combined. 
• 5 Dip each fish fillet into the beer batter, then carefully place it in the deep
  fryer. You may have to work in batches. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the
  thickness of your fillets.
  
  Cod is done when it's golden brown and opaque and flaky when cut into. You can
  also check for doneness with a meat thermometer [https://amzn.to/3o4WY2o].
  Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest piece of fish. The
  temperature needs to reach 145°F.
• 6 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil
• 7 To assemble the sandwiches, place the fried cod on the bottom half of the bun
  and add any toppings of your choice. Spread the tartar sauce onto the inside of
  the top bun and place on top of the fish and toppings.
