directions
Step 1
For the batter, mix the tempura flour and beer with a wire whisk.
Step 2
Heat 1 litre of oil in a Dutch oven until a drop of batter sizzles and crisps right away.
Step 3
Pat the fish dry with paper towel, then dredge in flour. Shake off excess, then dip in the beer batter.
Step 4
Carefully lower each portion into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness) until golden and crispy. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the fish, drain on paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
Step 5
While frying the fish, in a medium size bowl whisk mayo, sour cream, white sugar, malt vinegar and lemon juice. Add the remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
