WALKING FISH TACOS WITH CRUNCHY CABBAGE SLAW AND CILANTRO DRESSING

Steps:

• For the cilantro lime sour cream: Combine the sour cream, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the red cabbage slaw: Combine the lime juice, cabbage, onion, oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and massage for 2 minutes to soften the cabbage and distribute all ingredients evenly.
• For the fish: Mix the cayenne, cumin and paprika with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a dish and sprinkle all over the fish. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow dish, then put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Coat the fish all over in the flour and then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of oil. Fry the fish until golden and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into strips.
• To serve: Fill paper bags with chips (or open small bags of store-bought ones) and crush them coarsely. Top with a big plop of cilantro-lime sour cream, some fish, a squeeze of lime, slaw, avocado, jalapeños and a pile of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

FISH TACOS AND CILANTRO COLESLAW, 20 MINUTES MAX

Steps:

• Bake fish fillets according to package directions.
• Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to heat.
• Or heat them at the last minute in a microwave in plastic wrap.
• Shred or chop the cabbage.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage with all the remaining ingredients.
• Cut each hot fish fillet into 6-8 pieces, then pile into a hot tortilla with lots of slaw.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Batter: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, spices, beer and egg yolk. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer, but don't let it get watery. You want it thick to coat the fish.
• Cover the batter and refridgerate for at least 3 hours. It can sit over night. Variation: whip up an egg white and fold it into the batter just before dipping the fish. (I've never added the egg white -- sounds interesting.).
• Sauce: If you will be using the sauce for a condiment, combine all the ingredients. Use enough lime juice to make it "saucy".
• Fish: Cut the fish into pieces that will fit well into the taco after they are fried. I usually cut mine about 1 inch by 1 inch by 3 inches.
• Heat a good 1/2 inch of oil to about 375 degrees. Once the oil is hot, dip the fish into the batter to get it well coated, one piece at a time. Do not put too many pieces into the pan at once. Only cook a few at a time. While the batter is still thick on the fish and dripping, drop it into the oil and fry it about 4-5 minutes, turning to the other side about halfway through.
• To serve: Serve with steamed tortillas. You can serve with the sauce, cabbage, lime and avocado as suggested above (put fish into taco, add avocado, cabbage, top with sauce and a squeeze of lime). Or lately we just serve with Spicy Chipotle Slaw inside the tortilla with the fish. Usually two pieces of fish per taco.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a pie pan or dish combine oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss fish in mixture and then chill for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile make relish by combining relish ingredients in small bowl (cucumber, onion, oj, 2 tablespoons lime juice, sugar, remaining salt (1/2 t) and remaining pepper (1/4 t). Set aside.
• For the dressing combine mayonnaise, sour cream and remaining lime juice (2 T) and refrigerate until needed.
• Prepare grill and spray with Pam and heat to medium high. Grill fish 2-5 minutes per side or until done. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before dividing fish pieces in half while warming tortillas on grill (less than 30 seconds per side) -- wrap in foil to keep warm.
• Stir serrano chile into relish.
• To make tacos: spoon 2 T relish into each tortilla, flake fish piece onto the tortilla and then top with salsa and drizzle with the sauce. Fold tortilla (taco) in half and serve.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeno.
• In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Season to taste with the halved lime, salt, pepper and chipotle.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder and 1.5 teaspoons each of kosher salt and black pepper. Pour the milk into another medium bowl, and place the fish into it.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the peanut oil into a 12" frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Remove the fish pieces from the milk bath and dredge them lightly through the flour mixture, shaking to remove excess. Add the butter to the pan. Place some fish pieces in the oil, without crowding them, and cook until deep golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and cook for 1 minute more, Remove to a warmed, paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining fish.
• Meanwhile, lightly grease skillet with a drizzle of oil and set over medium heat. Heat the tortillas, one or two at a time, until they are soft and hot. Keep them warm, wrapped in a dish towel.
• Fill each tortilla with 3 pieces of fish, browned side up, followed by tomato salsa and a pinch of cabbage. Drizzle with the cream sauce. Serve 2 to 3 tacos per person, with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
