Steps

  • Soak peas in three times their volume of water with bicarbonate of soda for 12 hours.
  • Drain and rinse the soaked peas under cold water.
  • Simmer peas in boiling water for 90 to 120 minutes until mushy.
  • Beat in 25g of butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Blend egg yolks and mustard while gradually adding 300ml oil to create mayonnaise.
  • Stir in lemon zest and juice, then chill the mayonnaise in the fridge.
  • Whisk flour, yeast, sugar, salt, vinegar, and beer into a thick batter.
  • Let the batter ferment for 30 minutes until bubbling.
  • Heat oil to 190°C in a deep-fat fryer or heavy pan.
  • Coat fish in batter and fry for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown.
  • Fry remaining batter droplets until crisp to create scraps.
  • Assemble by spreading peas on buttered baguette halves and topping with fish, mayonnaise, and scraps.
