Fried Fish With Garlic Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Fresh anchovies or whitebait
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour
5 tablespoons	75ml	Cold water
1		Salt
		Oil for frying
		Garlic Sauce
4		Bread - crusts trimmed
		(soaked in water for 10 min)
40		Garlic
		(peeled and roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lemon juice
4 1/2 tablespoons	67ml	Olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Water - (optional)
		Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons	10ml	Fresh parsley - chopped
		Lemon wedges for garnish

Recipe Instructions

1. Sift the flour and salt into a deep baking dish and add enough water to make a very thick batter.

2) Heat enough oil for frying in a large, deep pan. A deep-sided saute pan is ideal.

3) Take 3 fish at a time and dip them into the batter together. Press their tails together firmly to make a fan shape.

4) Lower them carefully into the oil. Fry in several batches until crisp and golden. Continue in the same way with all the remaining fish.

5) Meanwhile, squeeze out the bread and put in a food processor with the garlic and lemon juice. With the processor running, add the oil in a thin steady stream. Add water if the mixture is too thick and dry. Add salt and pepper and stir in parsley by hand. When all the fish are cooked, sprinkle lightly with salt and arrange on serving plates with some of the garlic sauce and lemon wedges.
