Nori “Fish Finger” Tacos with Tartar Sauce Recipe

Start by making the tartar sauce by mixing together 1  crushed garlic clove, one 1,5 cm piece ginger (peeled and finely chopped), 1 spring onion (finely sliced), 10g capers (drained, roughly chopped), 10g cornichons (finely chopped),

1/2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tbsp green nori sprinkle (or nori sheets blitzed finely), 100g mayonnaise and freshly ground black pepper

To make the fish fingers remove the skin and bones from 4 sea bass fillets, slice them into finger-size pieces.

Whisk together  30g plain flour, 1 tbsp cornflour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp green nori sprinkle, or nori sheets blitzed finely and  put in a plastic bag. Then add 1/3 of the fish fingers and shake well. Repeat with the rest of the fish. 

Place a medium deep frying pan over medium high heat and add in 300ml vegetable oil. 

When the oil is hot enough (when a drop of batter immediately sizzles), place 3 fish fillets into the batter, then drop each carefully into the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. 

Drain onto a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Continue with the rest of the fish fillets.

Serve the fish alongside the tartar,  wedges of a lime, 10g fresh coriander leaves, pickled sushi ginger, extra nori, and warm tortillas. Feeds 2
