Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.75 cup beer (or sparkling water)
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded green cabbage
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 piece jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the white fish fillets into small strips, about 1 inch wide, and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the beer (or sparkling water) until the batter is smooth and has the consistency of heavy cream.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dip the fish strips into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, hot sauce, and cilantro to make the creamy sauce.

Step 7

Toss the shredded cabbage with a tablespoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt to make a quick slaw.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of crispy fish on each tortilla, topping with the slaw, a drizzle of the creamy sauce, and diced jalapeño (if using).

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing on top and enjoy your Fabulous Fish Tacos!
