It was another foggy day in San Francisco, which makes me think of London and who doesn't think of quintessential fish and chips.  Here's my version, a tad healthier, with a polenta batter that magically turns into cornbread in the pan.  In my family, we use 6 ounces as a proper portion size for fish because you leave lots of room in your belly for the chips.  

Healthy Twist on Fish and Chips (stayed tuned for the chips)
Serves 4 - 6 oz portion per person

1/2 cup spelt flour (or all purpose flour)
1/2 cup polenta
pinch of salt and pepper
1    egg
1/2 cup sparkling water
2 t. honey
1 1/2 pounds 24 of Ling cod or Halibut (cut into 10-12 cubes, remove any lingering bones) 

In a bowl, whisk together spelt flour, polenta, salt and peper.  In another small bowl, whisk egg.  Add egg and sparkling water to flour mixture.  Whisk in a bit of honey.  Dip fish and fry in a skillet over medium high heat with a 1/4 inch of high heat sunflower oil.  Serve with lemon and chips!
