Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange fish fillets on baking sheet; bake 17 to 19 minutes total or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, flipping after 12 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
Heat oil to 375 degrees in a deep-fat fryer or large heavy saucepan suitable for deep-frying. Follow instructions for quantity of oil in deep-fat fryer. For heavy saucepan, use at least 2 inches of oil.
For Sweet Pea Puppies: Combine sweet peas, green onion, egg yolk, and 1/4 cup milk in a medium bowl. Whisk together 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into pea mixture.
Beat egg white with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight); gently fold into pea mixture. Drop batter by rounded teaspoons into hot oil. Fry in batches for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon curry powder; keep warm.
Whisk together remaining 1 cup flour, remaining 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in beer, remaining ½ cup milk, and remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil until smooth. Dip baked fish fillets in batter, turning to coat. Fry in batches 3 to 5 minutes or until crispy; drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired. Serve with Sweet Pea Puppies and curry mayo.
