True Nor I (I've been using it for too long) but that is what
the recipe is. Try it with beer, it seems to be very popular, but it makes
it too strong for us. Oh yes and add a bit of salt too. I cook mine in
light oil at about 175c for between 5 and 10 mins depending on the thickness
of the fish. Experiment to see how you like it best.

Report back if you get around to it.
