Crispy fish fillets with lime tartare sauce

In a bowl, combine 150g self-raising flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk in 1 cup beer and 1 egg (lightly beaten) until smooth.

Slice 4 white fish fillets (about 225g each) into 3 pieces. Dust fish in self-raising flour, then dip in batter and deep-fry in hot vegetable oil (190C) for 3-5 minutes or until golden and cooked. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

For tartare sauce

In a bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 gherkin (chopped), 2 tsp baby capers, 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley (chopped) and the juice and finely grated zest of 1/2 lime.

Serve fish with a dollop of tartare sauce and lime cheeks.
