- Heat oil in a deep saucepan or deep fat fryer to a medium temperature.
- Whisk egg in a medium bowl and stir in sparkling water. Whisk in the flour and stir until smooth. The batter should be quite runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip the tuna into the batter and immediately immerse in the hot oil. Fry for about 7 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
- Place tuna tempura on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and serve hot with fresh lemon and remoulade for dipping.
