Method

Pat the cod fillet dry and cut into desired pieces.
Season with salt and pepper.

Batter

Mix together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, then add cold water.
Stir until you have a smooth batter, then let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a pot or deep-fryer to 160°C.
Dip the cod pieces into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Fry the pieces in oil, two at a time.
Cook for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Tartar Sauce

Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and mustard.
Stir in chopped cornichons, and season with salt and pepper.
Tip: For an extra flavor boost, add a few chopped capers.

Add butter to the peas and blend into a purée using an immersion blender.
Warm through in a saucepan and season with salt and pepper.
