Heat a 10 to 12 inches cast iron skillet. Use high heat.
Rinse and dry the cod fish thoroughly.Note: don't soak the fish in water. Use running water to rinse.
Add the fish to a plate or bowl. Season the fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Add the cornstarch to a bowl or plate. Dredge each cod fish portion in the cornstarch, shaking off excess.
Add the avocado oil to the very hot skillet. Use enough oil to create a thin layer of oil about 1/8 of an inch.
Carefully add the dredged fish portions into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-high heat.
Cook the fish portions 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.Note: Keep an eye on the oil. You don't want too much smoking. Reduce heat as needed if the pan is starting to show signs of too much smoke.
Remove the fish, draining well.Note: May place the fish on paper towels if needed. The fish usually don't come out soggy so the paper towel may not be necessary.
Serve the fish with your favorite side dish or add to a bowl of soup. Enjoy.
