Instructions

1. 1

   For "fish," process jackfruit, panko, nori, mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, and salt in a food processor until combined, with some chunks of jackfruit remaining. Mixture should hold together when pressed.

2. 2

   Shape jackfruit mixture into 1/3-cup fllet-like portions (about 3-1/2x1-1/2 inches). Cover and chill for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a deep, heavy-bottomed 4-quart pot or deep fryer. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Meanwhile, prepare fries according to package directions; keep warm.

4. 4

   For batter, whisk together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and remaining 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning in a medium bowl. Whisk in beer and egg. Dip jackfruit portions into batter, turning to coat all sides.

5. 5

   Working in batches, fry 2 or 3 portions at a time in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; keep warm. Garnish with parsley and serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and steak fries.
