BAJA FRIED FISH TACOS RECIPE: DELICIOUS STREET TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a few inches of your cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat or in a deep fryer.
• Season all sides of your fresh cod fillets with salt, then slice into 8 even pieces.
• Shred your cabbage with a sharp chef's knife or a mandolin slicer.
• Place all of your batter ingredients in a shallow mixing bowl - all-purpose flour, sea salt, cayenne, egg, and Mexican beer. Whisk together the mixture until you create a smooth batter. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Baja fish taco sauce recipe - mayonnaise, crema, lime, cilantro, and honey.
• Once well mixed, toss in the sliced cabbage mix until well-coated. Set aside.
• Grab some heat-safe tongs or use your fingers to dip each piece of cod into the batter bowl. Hold the cod above the bowl for a few seconds to allow the excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the preheated oil.
• Fry the cod in the oil until both sides brown; you'll likely need to gently flip the fish over halfway as it often floats at the top.
• Remove the fish with a stainless steel mesh scoop, then transfer to a large dinner plate lined with a few paper towels. Lightly salt.
• Continue the deep-frying process until you've cooked all your cod.
• Use a tortilla warmer to heat your tortillas, then top them with a piece of cooked fish.
• Top with your cabbage slaw in Baja sauce
• Add your final fish taco toppings - a squeeze of fresh lime, cilantro, salsa verde, or pico de gallo.
• Immediately serve and enjoy your fried fish tacos with slaw!

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the cabbage, scallion, and jalapeno, if using, in a medium bowl.
• Cut the fish into strips. Combine the fish with the lime zest and juice, pimenton, garlic, oil and salt, to taste, in a medium bowl. This can be done a day ahead, covered and refrigerated.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and oil. Add to the cabbage mixture and toss until well dressed. Season with salt, to taste. If using within a couple of hours let it sit at room temperature, if making this ahead, refrigerate until ready to use.
• To cook and assemble:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap the tortillas in foil.
• Put the fish strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the fish and tortillas in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the fish is in the oven, taste the cabbage for seasoning and adjust, if needed.
• Remove the fish and tortillas from the oven. Put some fish in the center of a tortilla, top with a couple of avocado slices and finish with some of the cabbage slaw. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.

BAJA STYLE FISH TACOS

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.

PERFECT FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Remove any pin bones from fish fillets (using tweezers makes this easy). Cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Cut each half on a diagonal into 1" strips. (Work with the natural shape of the fish as you cut; this will help the pieces stay together instead of falling apart when frying.)
• Whisk all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in club soda until no lumps remain; adjust with more club soda or rice flour as needed to make it the consistency of thin pancake batter-it should be pourable, but thick enough to coat the fish.
• Fit a large pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to measure 2". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 350°.
• Working in batches of 5-7 pieces at a time, coat fish in batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place in oil (to avoid splattering, lower fish into oil pointing away from you). Don't overcrowd the pot: The oil temperature will drop dramatically and fish may stick together.
• Fry fish, turning occasionally with a fish spatula or slotted spoon and maintaining oil temperature at 350°, until crust is puffed, crisp, and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season immediately with salt.
• While fish is frying, use tongs to heat tortillas one at a time directly over a gas burner, moving them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer to a plate; cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap up a stack of tortillas in a sheet of foil and heat in a 350° oven until warmed through.)
• Top tortillas (we like two per taco) with fish, slaw, hot sauce, avocado, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños. Serve with lime wedges.

• To warm the tortillas, heat a dry frying pan over medium heat and warm the tortillas in the pan until it softens and is hot, about 30 seconds.
• Spread the dip on the tortillas, then top with the coleslaw, avocado, tomato then the fish.

• Remove and discard top skin if one forms. Batter is now ready to use.
• For the black beans: In large pot, add black beans, onion, tomato and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
