Handful coriander, chopped

METHOD
For the fish
1. Combine the flour, spices, salt and pepper. Whisk in sparkling water to create a thick mixture.
2. Heat the oil to medium heat.
3. Dip fish in batter. Fry in batches until golden and cooked through, 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
For the veggies
1. To make the salsa, lightly steam the mielie kernels in the microwave. Mix with coriander and lemon juice.
2. Dress the baby marrows with olive oil, salt and pepper.
For the tacos
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Brush the tortillas with a little olive oil. Cook them directly on the oven rack, draping them around the bars to create a taco shape. Toast for 5–7 minutes, until they are crispy and holding their shape.
