Method

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water to make a thick batter.
Dip fish fillets into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 180°C (350°F). Fry fish until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste, soy sauce, honey, and 2 tbsp water. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then brush over fried fish.
Cook fish and seafood to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) before serving.
