A funky new twist on a British classic
Serves 4
Ready in 50 minutes
Ingredients
  • For the fish:
  • 150g self-raising flour, plus 6tbsp 225ml lager or beer
  • Sunflower oil for shallow frying
  • 4 x 125g haddock fillets, skinned
  • For the fritters:
  • 50g plain flour
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 75ml milk
  • 300g can Asda Chip Shop mushy peas
  • Lemon wedges to serve
Method
1 Sift 150g flour for the fish into a bowl. Season. Make a well in the centre. Gradually add the lager, whisking until smooth.

2 Place the flour for the fritters in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yolk and milk and whisk until smooth. Season, and beat in the peas. Whisk the egg white until frothy and fold in.

3 Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to come 2cm up the sides. Heat gently until a drop of the beer batter browns in 30 seconds. Place the remaining flour on a plate. Coat the fillets on both sides in the flour then dip in the lager batter. Add the fish two at a time to the oil and cook, turning once, for 5 minutes until golden.

4 Heat the oil for the fritters in a separate pan and add 4 large spoonfuls of the pea mixture. Cook for 4 minutes, turning once, until golden.

5 Transfer to a baking dish, keep warm in a low oven while repeating the process with the remaining mixture. Serve the fish and the fritters with either potato wedges or chips, garnished with lemon.
