Step 2: In a shallow bowl slightly beat the eggs.

Step 3: Adding one piece of fish at a time to the bag, coat well with the mixture, then remove and dip the fish in the eggs, then return to the bag to coat the fish again, repeat for all of the cod pieces; transfer to a plate.

Step 4: Heat a small amount of oil in a large 12-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat until hot but not smoking. --For fish that is 3/4-inch thick --- Fry the fish until the undersides are golden brown (about 1 minute).
