Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup dark Mexican beer*
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup Mexican crema** or sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
2 pounds skinned halibut cut into 5 by 1/2-inch strips
Freshly ground black pepper
Corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups tomatillo salsa (store-bought or homemade) for garnish, optional
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish, optional

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.

SAN FELIPE FISH TACOS



San Felipe Fish Tacos image

Our favorite fish tacos! The white sauce adds a delightful element to the tacos. Recipe was published in our local newspaper as the fish taco recipe from Rubios Baja Grill, San Diego, CA. When we lived there Rubios was our favorite place for a quick bite to eat.

Provided by Koriander

Categories     Mexican

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic (fresh chopped or powder)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash red cayenne pepper, according to preference
1 cup beer
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 3/4 lbs cod fish fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 small green cabbage head, finely shredded
2 limes, ripe, cut into squeezable wedges
12 corn tortillas
1/4 cup canola oil (approx. measurement. Add more if needed)

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.

Tips:

  • For the freshest fish tacos, use high-quality fish, such as tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi.
  • Be sure to season the fish well before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor.
  • If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to warm them before assembling the tacos. This will make them more pliable and less likely to break.
  • Don't overload the tacos with toppings. Too many toppings can make them difficult to eat and can overwhelm the flavor of the fish.
  • Serve the tacos immediately after assembling them. This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there's sure to be a fish taco that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish tacos a try.
