BEER BATTERED FISH TACOS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, seasoning salt, and celery salt. Gently stir in the beer and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, prepare the coleslaw: In a medium bowl stir together all cabbage slaw ingredients and set aside.
- Prepare the avocado sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick add more water to reach desired consistency. Set aside.
- Cut skin from the fish and discard. Slice fish into roughly 1 x 1 ½ inch strips.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan to medium-high heat, or 350 to 375 degrees F when tested with a thermometer. About an inch of oil in the pan is ideal for frying.
- Add some of the fish pieces to the beer batter and stir to coat well.
- Add the battered fish peices to the pan. It should sizzle vigorously the moment it's added. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Note: Don't overcrowd the fish and fry in at least a couple of batches if needed.
- Rotate the peices and fry about 2-3 minutes more until the other side is browned and the fish reaches an internal temp of at least 145 degrees F.
- Remove fried fish and place on a wire rack over paper towels to drain.
- Serve over warm tortillas with prepared cabbage slaw, avocado sauce, and other desired toppings.

Steps:
- For the Beer Batter:
- Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add in the beer while whisking. Set aside and let the batter rest for 15 minutes before using.
- For Cream Sauce:
- Add the mayonnaise and crema to a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon zest, lemon juice and water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper (can be made 3 days ahead, covered and refrigerated).
- For the Fish:
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of 1-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when inserted into the oil.
- On a large plate, combine the flour and salt. Season the fish pieces all over with salt and pepper and coat with the flour. Working in batches, dip the fillets in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Make tacos with the tortillas and fish and top each with cream, shredded cabbage, tomatillo salsa and pickled jalapenos, if desired.
- *Cook's Note: Crack open a cold Mexican cerveza like a Negra Modelo or a 2 Equis (XX) Amber to make this tasty beer batter, which will change the way you think about fried fish! You can use it for vegetables, too.
- **Cook's Note: Mexican Crema is Mexico's version of creme fraiche and is found at many supermarkets and can easily be substituted with sour cream.

Steps:
- Toss the cabbage, red onion, cilantro, vinegar, oil and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle chiles with sauce and garlic in a blender or mini food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Gradually add the beer, whisking until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of ½-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F, or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when dipped into the oil.
- Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, dip the fish strips in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Let the excess batter drip off, then fry the fish in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Smear each tortilla with a generous amount of the chipotle sauce, then top with the cabbage slaw. Lay one piece of fish inside each tortilla and serve with lime wedges.
- Note: 3 chipotle peppers and 2 teaspoons sauce will give you a spicy sauce. Use less for a milder sauce. You can freeze any leftover chipotle peppers from the can.
- Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming that approximately 3 tablespoons of oil are absorbed into the fish when fried.
- Note: Nutritional Information does not include the chipotle sauce.
