Fish & chips with coconut batter & tartare sauce
For ease, we’ve shallow-fried the fish, but it’s still crispy as it would be from a takeaway.
Serves 4
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
600g boneless and skinless cod loin fillet
75g plain flour
1 egg
100ml coconut milk, plus extra if needed
1 tsp baking powder vegetable oil, for frying
FOR THE TARTARE SAUCE
3 tbsp mayonnaise
3 tbsp Greek yogurt
4 small or 2 large cornichons, chopped
1 tbsp capers, drained
1 tbsp chopped dill
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
TO SERVE
oven-baked chips
cooked peas
2 lemons, quartered
1 Cut the fish into four equal pieces. Season and dust with 2 tsp flour. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining flour, egg, coconut milk and baking powder together with some salt until you have a smooth, thick batter. Add a little more coconut milk if it’s too stiff. In a small bowl, combine the tartare sauce ingredients and set aside.
2 Pour a 2cm depth of vegetable oil into a large wok and heat until hot enough to brown a small piece of bread in 20 seconds. Fry the fish in batches, dipping each piece into the batter, then gently lowering into the oil. Fry for 2-3 mins until golden, turning once. Drain on kitchen paper, then keep warm in a low oven while you fry the rest.
3 Serve the fish with the chips, peas, tartare sauce and lemon wedges.
