6. In another bowl, beat together the egg, water and 1/3 cup lemon juice.
7. Add to the flour mixture and mix well until smooth.
8. Place the remaining lemon juice in a small bowl and the remaining flour in a separate small bowl.

10. Carefully drop battered fish pieces two or three at a time into hot oil.
11. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
