Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or heavy skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, beer, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne; add to egg mixture. Whisk until batter is well combined; let rest 15 minutes.
  3. Dip fish strips one at a time into batter, letting excess drip off. Working in batches, drop carefully into hot oil; fry until fish is golden and crisp and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas, sour cream, salsa, and shredded cabbage.

Yield: 6 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Fried fish is the traditional filling of Baja tacos. They are simply garnished with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

    try plain yogurt (not sweetened) mixed with cumin to taste rather than sour cream. Dont forget cilantro and lime to squeeze over the top.

    I couldn\\'t get the batter to stick. I don\\'t think a 15 minute rest is enough for a beer batter, as much as I wish it would be.

    I\'m not a huge fried food fan but figured I would give this a try anyway. Very easy to make, but, to be honest, they were just ok. To be really honest, if you have a place in your town that makes fish tacos, just stop in and pick them up there. Probably just as good, and your house won\'t end up smelling like cooking oil.
