Dutch fried fish bites with tomato batter and mayonnaise

Delicious fried fish from the Netherlands with a tomatoey-twist in the batter and mayonnaise – perfect for a late summer supper party with friends or as a tapas type snack with a cooling glass of wine.

Ingredients

Ingredients for the batter:

  • 1 egg + 1 whipped egg white
  • 150ml sparkling water
  • 150g plain white flour, type ‘0’
  • 60g organic tomato paste
  • salt to taste
  • 500g cod fillets
  • sunflower or peanut oil for frying, as needed

 

For the tomato mayonnaise:

  • 300g canned cherry tomatoes, drained and seeds removed
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp ground dried chives
  • 1 lemon (juice)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 – 2 drops Tabasco (alternatively a pinch of chilli)
  • grapeseed oil, as needed
  • salt

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the flour, water and whole egg, and then add in the whipped egg white. Leave the batter to rest in the fridge. Now heat the oil in a pan with 4cm-high sides to 165°C, take the fillets, dip them in the batter and fry until golden; dry them on paper towels.

Step 2

Put everything except the oil in a mixer and emulsify by gradually drizzling in the oil.
