Dieters Beer Battered Fish Tacos with Avocado Salsa
Nom nom.
Avocado Salsa
Healthy Tartare Sauce
Beer Battered Fish
Give your fish a quick shower under the cold tap to get the smelly icki sticky fishy juices off the outside. Then dunk each piece into the 'few more tablespoons of flour' to coat them.
Warm the two teaspoons of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat, then drunk each piece of fish into the batter, letting the excess drip off into the bowl before laying into the pan. Cook for approx 2-3 minutes on each side.
For people who are being naughty: have with warmed soft tortillas (though these are not that bad for you).
For people who are being good: have the fish with some lemon, salsa and a big salad.

Fishcakes
This is quite yummy for a change - pretty easy too.
Put fish, milk, water in to pan. Bring to boil, lower heat then simmer for 4 minutes. Take off heat, put the lid on and leave to sit for ten minutes.
Extract fish with a holey spoon and leave in a bowl.
Boil potatoes. When soft, drain, leave for a few minutes to let moisture evaporate then moosh in pot. Add spoon of creamy yum. Add herbs, lemon juice and a good dose of salt and pepper. Taste (this is the bit you want to be yummy). Flake in fish with your fingers then fold into potato. Just once or twice - don't stir!
Roll patties with floury hands, dip in the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry 5 minutes each side.
Serve with watercress salad and a slice of lemon. Yum!
- Some fish (350-450gm-ish)
- 150ml milk
- 150ml water
- 350gm-ish potatoes
- tablespoon of something creamy - bestfoods, sour cream, creme fraise, cream (any'll do)
- whatever herbs take your fancy (parsley, dill, basil, mixed, dry (a bit of chilli powder is good), fresh blah).
- lemon juice or zest
- an egg (beaten in a bowl)
- some flour
- some bread crumbs (I didnt have any so toasted bread in oven at 60-odd degrees while I prepared the rest, then smashed with a bacardi bottle when I was ready for it)

Dad's INCREDIBLE tempura batter for fresh fish
(Inspired by Zane's batter and the fresh snapper provided by Rene and her pappa)
1 egg
1 cup ice water (or with some crushed ice, as dad does)
1 cup all purpose flour
Beat an egg and add super cold water - the colder the better, as apparently this prevents the batter from absorbing the oil. Add the flour and mix just a little - batter sucks if its over beaten. Fry in a pan in a few millimeters of rice bran oil, or vegetable oil - or whatever.
