Fish Butty & Chilli Oil Tartar Sauce.

Jesse Jenkins

I often like to burn things to get that smoky flavour.@WhiteMausu Smoky Chili Oil brings just the right amount of smoke with all the goodness a crispy chili oil has to offer. It’s a true weapon in the kitchen, taking this tartar sauce to a whole new world - a better world.

P.S. This fish batter is gluten-free… not because it needs to be, but because the texture is insanely good. I’ve had to guess the recipe based on eating it a few times, so if anyone knows more about it - let me know!
