METHOD
Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor, season to taste with salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Set aside.
Season the flour with salt and pepper. Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate dishes. Cut each fish fillet into 4 pieces. Toss the fish and prawns in the flour, then dip in the egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.
