1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

1 garlic clove, grated (or very finely minced)
1 large jalapeno, finely diced and seeded

1
In a bowl, mix cabbages, kohlrabi, apples and purple onion.
2
In a small jar with a tightfitting lid, combine the horseradish, garlic, mustard, oil, vinegar, honey, kosher salt and pepper.
3
Shake well.
4
Pour over cabbage mixture and toss.
5
Set aside.
6
Whisk the lemony jalapeno mayonnaise ingredients together.

Place fish on paper towels; gently press out all the moisture.
9
Into a deep fryer or deep frying pan, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches.
10
Heat oil until very hot.
11
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, egg, ice water and 2 tablespoons oil.
12
Transfer to a tall, skinny container, such as a quart Mason jar.

Cut fish into a dozen 2-by-3-inch cubes.

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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
