Method...
- Mix the mayonnaise thoroughly with the Lobster Glace in a suitable bowl, stir in the remaining ingredients, season to taste with the lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a large bowl, whisk in three quarters of the beer, then check the consistency. It should be thick, but add more beer if required.
- Preheat the fryer to 180 degrees. Season the cod all over with the Fish Stock Mix and pepper.
- Coat the cod portions, one at a time and allow to drip briefly into the batter, before placing into the hot oil gently, a little at a time until fully submerged.
- Turn halfway through cooking until the batter is golden brown and the fish is piping hot, remove and drain on kitchen roll, season lightly with salt.
- Serve with the crisp triple cooked chips, your choice of peas, lemon wedges and a good spoonful of the tartar sauce.
