Directions
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped shallot, Wild Dill Olive Oil, Sicilian Lemon Balsamic, capers, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours for the best flavour.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pot to 370°F.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually pour in ice-cold beer, mixing gently until combined. A few lumps are fine, avoid over-mixing.
Lightly coat each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess to help the batter stick. Dip into the beer batter, ensuring an even coating, and shake off excess.
Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 7–9 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F
Remove the fish from oil and serve hot with fries and tartar sauce .

Recipe Note
The combination of flavours in the tartar sauce is classic, perfection! If you'd like to get experimental, omit the capers, sub soy sauce for the Worcestershire and swap in Toasted Japanese Sesame Seed Oil and Honey Ginger Balsamic for an exceptional dipping sauce for tempura shrimp.
This sounds as delicious as it looks. I will try it for sure!
This recipe looks great! I will be trying it.
It seems it could be varied with different herbs like savoury, taragon or thyme instead of dill,
