Method

Soak peas in water with bicarbonate of soda for at least four hours.

Drain peas, rinse, cover with water in a pan, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.

Dry out any excess moisture, beat in butter, and season to taste.

Heat deep-frying oil in a heavy-based pan.

Whisk egg yolks and flour into a thick batter.

Whisk egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.

Fold whites into the batter with sparkling water.

Dip sea bream in batter and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden.

Serve fish with buttered bread, mushy peas, and lemon wedges.
