Step 3 -In a pie tin, add the flour.
Step 4 -In a second pie tin, combine the eggs and the water.
Step 5 -In a third pie tin, add the breadcrumbs, the mustard, and the cayenne and mix to combine.

Step 7 -Gently set the coated cod into the hot oil and fry until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and both sides are golden-brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 8 -Transfer the cod to drain on brown paper sacks.
Step 9 -Serve the cod with the lemon wedges and the malt vinegar.
