  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 200 ml neutral oil (avocado or vegetable)
  • 3 cornichons, diced

Instructions

  1. Combine egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in a tall jar; use an immersion blender to emulsify while slowly drizzling in oil until thick.
  2. Stir in chopped cornichons, capers, dill, chives, cabbage, and samphire to create the tartar slaw; season with a splash of caper juice and lemon.
  3. Whisk flour, corn flour, and beer together in a bowl until smooth to create the beer batter.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  5. Dredge fish strips in extra flour, dip into the batter, and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. Sauté peas in a pan with butter and fresh mint for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  7. Toast the ciabatta rolls, spread with extra tartar slaw, top with fried fish and minty peas, and serve immediately.
