Method
- Mix the ingredients for the herby mayo together and season to taste. Set aside until later.
- For the batter, mix the flours, baking powder, salt and mustard powder, if using, together in a bowl. Whisk in the cider, in batches, to make a smooth batter you may not need all the liquid. Heat 2-3cm depth of oil in a medium frying pan, over a medium-high heat. The oil will be ready when a cube of bread dropped in browns in 2 mins.
- Dip the pieces of fish into the batter, then gently lower into the oil with a spoon. Fry for approx 3 minutes a side until the batter is golden brown and the fish cooked through. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with kitchen towel to drain (you can keep them warm in a low temperature oven if you are frying in batches).
- Spread a little herby mayo over each warmed bun base, then add one piece of fried fish, and top with shredded lettuce and the lid, if using. Serve with lemon wedges and extra herby mayo on the side.
- Tip: If you're short on time, you can use frozen battered cod fillets. Preheat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/ Gas 7 and bake the fillets on a baking tray for 25 mins. Leave to stand 2 minutes before serving in the bun with the mayo and lettuce.
