Fish Tacos

Firm Fish cut into strips. (I used Mahi Mahi)

For the batter:
1 cup self rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 cup beer

All ingredients need to be very cold.

Beer and flour ratio will need to be adjusted depending upon your flour.

For the slaw

2 cups thin sliced cabbage
pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 Tablespoon chopped jalapeno
3 Tablespoons Mexican cream
Mix and put in refrigerator 1 hour.

Dip fish in cold batter and fry in 350 F Oil until golden brown and crispy.

I think that needs to go on the menu soon. They look perfectly golden brown.

They are beautiful.

When we make them, we grill the fish. I really like fried fish, so I will try fried fish tacos next time.

Fish tacos are also great with a mango salsa. We tried them last winter and now they are on the regular rotation.

I see so many recipes for batter for a variety of foods. They call for beer. I don't have alcohol in my house. So I skip over that recipe. Any suggestions for something else? Like milk with a beaten egg maybe? It is what I usually use. But I am just wondering if there is something else.

Addie, by using beer they are going for the fizz, baking powder should do the trick.

 

[Silversage]

Addie, use something carbonated. Seltzer water would do the trick nicely.

Yep some kind of carbonated water.

Thank you. You too CC and PP. I get it now. I thought it was for the flavor. Not my favorite flavor of the month. Besides it smells. Eeeew!

Addy, I don't know why, but stuff cooked with beer doesn't taste of beer. I hate Guinness, but I had something, in an Irish Pub, that was made with Guinness and it was yummy.

I wouldn't know about the taste. I have never tasted beer. It is the smell. Beer stinks!
