Battered Fish - Like The Fish & Chip Shop! - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 medium fish fillets
    4 1/2 ounces self raising flour
    6 fluid ounces skim milk
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon butter, melted
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon cajun seasoning
    oil (for frying, I like sunflower oil for this)
    plain flour, for dusting
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.
    In a 10\" x 3\" plastic tub, place the flour, egg, salt, seasoning, milk & melted butter. Blend really well using an immersion blender - or liquidize & pour into the tub. (The tub just makes it easier to apply the batter to the fish.).
    Rinse your fillets & cut into 5\" pieces. Dust each piece with a little flour.
    Heat your fryer to approximately 180 - 190\u00b0C.
    Dip the fillerts one by one in the batter & coat both sides evenly.
    When the oil has reached the correct temp, gently lay one fillet at a time onto the top of the oil.
    Cook until golden brown on both sides - takes me about 4-5 mins, then remove & place on a tray with a wire rack (I use the grill pan) in the oven to stay crisp & hot.
    Repeat with the remaining fish.
    Serve with chunky chips, peas (mushy is best!) & lots of salt & vinegar -- .
