Method

  • In a bowl, mix cabbages, kohlrabi, apples and purple onion.
  • In a small jar with a tightfitting lid, combine the horseradish, garlic, mustard, oil, vinegar, honey, kosher salt and pepper.
  • Shake well.
  • Pour over cabbage mixture and toss.
  • Set aside.
  • Whisk the lemony jalapeno mayonnaise ingredients together.
  • Set aside.
  • Place fish on paper towels; gently press out all the moisture.
  • Into a deep fryer or deep frying pan, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches.
  • Heat oil until very hot.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, egg, ice water and 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Transfer to a tall, skinny container, such as a quart Mason jar.
  • Cut fish into a dozen 2-by-3-inch cubes.
  • Push a skewer in the middle of each, stopping about an inch from the end.
  • Dip into the batter in a swirling motion, covering fish and a bit of the stick.
  • Very gently shake off excess batter before placing fish into the hot oil.
  • Hold the stick just a moment to seal the batter so fish sticks won't stick together, then drop them in; cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with salt if desired.
  • Serve with Lemony Jalapeno Mayonnaise and Kohlrabi Apple Slaw.
