First, prepare the batter for the monkfish. Add the flour and baking powder to a bowl, pour in the sparking water and whisk to form a thick pancake-like batter. If too thick, add a little more sparkling water to loosen the mixture.

Fold in the diced monkfish , red onion and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

3

To prepare the salad, rinse and scrub the potatoes. Use an apple corer to punch out cylinders in the potatoes. Alternatively just dice the potatoes.

4

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potato cylinders and simmer over a medium heat until almost cooked, approximately 15 minutes

5

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to gently remove the potatoes from the water, transfer to a container or salad bowl and set aside.

6

Heat a deep-fat fryer to 170C. Alternatively, fill a deep saucepan with oil to a third of the way up. Caution: hot oil can be dangerous

7

Use a tablespoon to carefully drop pieces of the monkfish mixture into the hot oil. Fry until golden for about 3-4 minutes

8

Remove the monkfish popcorn carefully with a slotted spoon. Drain on kitchen towel.

9

Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add in the mayonnaise and spring onion and mix with the potatoes.

10

Mix all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and leave for 30 minutes.

11

Divide the monkfish popcorn onto plates and serve alongside the potato salad, salsa & mixed leaves salad.
