Doesn't batter need an egg?

You leave the fish once you have battered it for another 15 mins? Won't the batter slide off?
Like the sound of the flavours, though.

The batter is probably, sift the flour and baking powder, maybe add a bit of salt and mix with cold water to form a batter. The rest of the ingredients will form the marinade. After the fish has soaked in the marinade, coat it with the batter mixture and follow as above recipe

Sorry, forgot to mention that when the flour, baking powder & salt mixture when adding water must be a thick consistency, not thin.

Tip of the day

Smooth salt
Put a few rice granules in your salt container. This prevents the salt from absorbing moisture and clumping.
