A simple Portuguese snack made by coating fresh green beans in a light batter and frying them. The name means “little fish from the garden,” and this recipe is considered a Portuguese precursor to tempura.
Blanch the beans in boiling water over medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Whisk the flour, water, egg, and salt into a thin batter.
Coat the beans in the batter and fry in oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, until golden.
Season with salt and serve hot.
Best eaten fresh; the crisp texture is lost if they sit, and reheating is not recommended.
