Sylvia Akinyi prefers grilling or baking to deep frying as it is a healthier way of enjoying fish, due to the less oil used. That, plus grilling, confers unbelievable flavour to the fish.

Method

On a wide plate, add the crumbs ingredients; breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.

Mix the batter ingredients; egg, mayonnaise, tbsp flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.

Cut the fillet into strips and pat dry to remove excess water.

Place fish in batter, and gently mix with a rubber spatula to coat.

Breading: Pick up fish with tongs, and place in crumbs ingredients. Spoon over crumbs and use fingers to press to adhere.

Deep fry or bake.

Serve immediately garnished with lemon wedges, Tartar sauce dip, and finely chopped parsley.
