Step 1
Pour the beer into a container to let the foam settle. In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder, make a well in the center, add the beaten egg yolks, melted butter, 1 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper, and stir with a spatula until combined. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring to form a smooth batter that is slightly thicker than crepe batter. Fold in the whipped egg whites, then add the chopped crab sticks and half of the chopped chives. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the tartare: In a bowl, mix the juice of 1 lime, chopped chili, remaining chives, crushed garlic, thinly sliced shallot and olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and chill in the refrigerator. Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the tomatoes for a few seconds, then peel, deseed, pat dry and cut into small cubes. Pit the avocados, score the flesh, scoop out the cubes with a spoon, and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lime. Gently mix the tomato cubes and avocado pieces, and keep chilled in the refrigerator.
