Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan until bread sizzles and turns golden-brown.

Whisk flour, salt, and chilled water into a thick batter and stir in sesame seeds.

Dust monkfish in flour, dip in batter, and deep fry for 3-4 minutes until golden.

Drain the monkfish on kitchen paper.

Combine tomatoes, onion, lime juice, chilli, coriander, and olive oil in a bowl.

Fry okra in vegetable oil for 2 minutes.

Add sesame oil and seasoning to the okra and fry for one more minute.

Plate the salsa, top with monkfish, serve okra on the side, and garnish with chives.
