  • 3 sprigs Spring onions, finely sliced
  • 2-3 tinned anchovies, chopped

Method

1. In a deep fat fryer or saucepan heat the oil until hot.

2. Coat the fish fillets in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.

3. Place the fish carefully in the oil, laying it away from you to prevent splashing. Deep fry until golden – this should take about 2-3 minutes depending on the size of the fish.

4. Drain the fish on kitchen towel.

5. For the spiced mayonnaise, mix all the mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

6. Serve the fish on a bed of watercress with a dollop of the spicy mayonnaise and a lemon wedge.

Fried fish dish with the Cajun chicken (both Matts) on the same night....Bit of a rush job at the end but, it all worked well.. Both dishes were very good.
I used a medium size chilli which worked well... Not too hot

I wish you'd be more specific about the "small red chilli"! Are we talking Birds Eye, New Mex, Chipotle, etc etc? Not sure about the ketchup but gonna give this one a try! Thanks.
