Lime tartare sauce
• ½ cup whole-egg mayonnaise
• 8 cornichons, chopped

1. To make the lime tartare sauce, mix to combine the mayonnaise, cornichons, capers, parsley and lime juice. Set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over high heat until temperature reaches 180°C on a deep-frying thermometer. Whisk the flour, beer and soda water until smooth.
