2. Chop the tomatoes, onion, serrano chile, lime and salt. Reserve.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper with a whisk. Then add the egg whites and the cold beer until you have a batter as thick as that of the pancakes (if it is too thick then add more beer).
4. Cut the fish fillets into sticks and transfer them to a tray.
