Directions
Make the mushy peas
- In a pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Add the rinsed marrowfat peas and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and mash the peas with the back of a spoon. Stir in lemon juice and chopped mint. Set aside.
Prepare the shoestring fries
Julienne the potatoes into thin matchsticks.
- Fill a large pot with about 2 litres of water and add salt. Heat until just below boiling, then turn off the heat.
- Add the potatoes, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Drain, rinse with cold water, and spread on a towel to dry. Let them cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 170°C (340°F). Fry the potatoes in batches until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
Batter & fry the fish
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 185°C (365°F).
Dip each fish piece into plain flour, then into the batter, coating evenly. Carefully lower into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the tacos
- Warm the tacos in a frying pan until lightly browned.
- Spread a spoonful of mushy peas onto each taco.
- Add a handful of crispy shoestring fries.
- Place a piece of battered fish on top.
Drizzle with Ranch Mayo and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Finish with a pinch of salt.
