FISH TACOS

Steps:

• To make beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture (don't worry about a few lumps).
• To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas; not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, and white sauce.

SAN DIEGO-STYLE FISH TACO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and mayonnaise until well blended. 2. Squeeze the juice from one lime half into the fish taco sauce mixture, then whisk thoroughly. You'll want the consistency of a pourable, creamy salad dressing. If still too thick, add more lime juice from the other half. If too runny, add sour cream. 3. Add all of the spices, whisking to mix thoroughly. Add the capers, minced pepper and cilantro, and whisk thoroughly. 4. Cover the bowl with wrap and refrigerate the fish taco for at least one hour - the longer the better. 5. Serve chilled. Spoon white sauce over fish tacos, or add into taco salads or rice bowls.

SAN FELIPE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix together the white sauce and set aside.
• Wash cod fillets by dipping in cold water and lemon juice. Drain on paper towels and pat dry (note: must be dry before dipping into beer batter).
• Mix together beer batter ingredients.
• Put canola oil in deep skillet (teflon coated preferred) and get oil really hot (approx 375 degrees).
• Dip both sides of cod fillets into beer batter and place in the skillet in a single layer (pieces shouldn't touch each other). Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
• Take out and place on paper towels and blot off the excess oil. Cut fillets into smaller pieces to fit in tortilla. I use scissors - it's easier.
• Heat corn tortillas lightly in a heavy skillet until soft and hot. Or if preferred, deep fry in hot oil in skillet (20 seconds each side).
• On each tortilla, layer fish fillet, add white sauce, squeeze a lime wedge across the top, add your favorite salsa, and top with shredded cabbage.
