Fish with a new twist to excite the palate.

METHOD

Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, wasabi paste and beer.

Dust fish with a little flour, coat in batter and deep-fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Place on kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Serve with lemon wedges and a dash of sweet chilli sauce and chips or salad.

Another good idea

Flake leftover fish and toss through salad.
