Instructions

Combine the mayonnaise, grated garlic, finely chopped shallots, coarsely chopped capers, finely chopped dill, sweet relish, dijon mustard, caper brine, kosher salt, lemon juice, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Season the cod fillet pieces with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and kosher salt.
Slowly whisk in the cold Mexican lager until the batter is smooth. Add more beer for a thinner consistency if desired.
Heat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Dip the seasoned fish pieces into the batter, letting any excess drip off, then carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the fish until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Season with additional kosher salt if desired.
Serve the fried fish with dilly tartar sauce on the side. Accompany with lemon wedges, malt vinegar, and your choice of French fries.
