1 lb 8 oz White fish fillets, such as Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Hake or Monkfish(Anglerfish)
sunflower-seed oil, for deep fying
lemon wedges, to garnish
Directions:
To make the batter, put the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the egg and olive oil. Gradually add the water, beating constantly and drawing the flour from the side into the liquid, to form a smooth batter.
Remove and discard any skin and bones from the fish fillets and cut the flesh into 2 inch/5 cm chuncks. Lightly dust with flour.
Heat the sunflower-seed oil in a deep-fat fryer, large, heavy-bottom pan, or wok to 350-375 F, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Dip each fish piece into the batter to coat and deep-fry in small batches for 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden (if you deep-fry to many pieces at one time, the oil temp will drop and the batter will be soggy). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve the fish fritters hot, garnished with lemon wedges, and accompanied by some homemade french fries.
