Combine the flour, eggs, olive oil, milk and melted butter. Mix well and allow to rest in the refrigerater for 2 hours.

Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a crêpe pan or non-stick fry pan until hot. Pour in enough mixture to cover the base of the pan.

Remove from the pan and check that the crêpe is cooked through.

Repeat until 6 crêpes have been produced. Set aside and prepare filling ingredients. The remaing crêpe mix will keep for 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Lay the crêpes out on clean beach. Wiht a palette knife, smear 2 tsps of mayonnaise over each crêpe all the way to the edge. Now spread 1 tsp of wasabi caviar down the centre of each crêpe.

Lay 3 prawns on each crêpe, in a line a third in from the edge of the crêpe. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Thinly slice the smoked eel lengthways. Lay 1 sliced fillet next to the prawns on each crêpe. Lay 2 slices of avocado beside the prawns on each crêpe.

Lastly, lay the watercress, if using, on top, leaving the leaves hanging over the end. Roll tightly and cut into pieces.
