Put the peas and baking powder into a bowl, then cover in cold water and soak overnight in the fridge. Drain and rinse the peas, then place them into a pan. Cover in cold water, bring to the boil, then allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Season and stir through the sugar and butter.
Blanch the chips for 5 minutes then drain. Tip onto a tray lined with kitchen paper. Fry the chips until crisp, then drain.
Heat a fryer to 190c or a deep pan of veg oil. Whisk all of the ingredients together for the batter, then dip all the fish in and fry in batches. Then drain on kitchen paper.
In a small food processor, blitz the eggs and mustard, then slowly add the oil in a drizzle to make the mayo. Spoon into a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients and season.
To serve, spoon the sauce onto plates, top with the fish & chips and a spoonful of mushy peas.
