Tartar:- Blend cornichons, capers and golden shallots in a food processor. Stir in mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice until combined. (you can also have it by chopping them, so you will get the texture)
- Place the chips in a pot of cold water, bring to the boil and drain. Place the uncovered chips in the fridge to dry out.
- Mix the tempura flour into the soda water and add a few cubes of ice to keep really cold, refrigerate.
- Heat canola oil to 170 C in a large, heavy based pot. Dust snapper fillets in flour and dip into tempura batter. Fry fish turning regularly until crispy.
