Cooking Fish Beer-battered barra and potato scallops with minted pea mayo

Try this golden battered barramundi served with minted pea mayonnaise.

  1. To make the minted pea mayo, cook the peas in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Process the peas, mint, garlic and half the mayonnaise in a small food processor until combined.
  2. Transfer to a bowl. Stir through remaining mayonnaise until well combined. Cover. Store in the fridge until required.
  3. Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Cut into 1cm-thick slices.
  4. Cut fish into 4 x 12cm pieces. Whisk together 225g (1 1/2 cups) of the flour and the baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Gradually pour in the beer, whisking constantly, until a smooth batter forms. Pour enough oil to come one-third of the way up the side of a wok or large saucepan. Heat over high heat until a cook’s thermometer reaches 180C. Dip the fish in the batter and cook, in 3 batches, for 3 minutes or until golden.
  5. Lightly dip the potato slices in the remaining batter and cook for 2 minutes or until golden. Season fish and scallops with sea salt and serve with minted pea mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
