Method
Prepare the Slaw
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded green and red cabbage, grated carrots, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
Make the Creamy Sauce
- Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a small bowl; then, set aside.
Prepare the Fish Batter
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold beer until a smooth batter forms.
Fry the Fish
- Heat vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Dip fish fillets in the batter, letting excess drip off, and fry in batches for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; then, remove and drain on a wire rack.
Assemble the Tacos
- Warm the corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with fried fish, top with a generous spoonful of slaw, and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the fish in a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of chili powder for 15 minutes before battering. You can also customize your toppings with avocado, salsa, or pickled red onions.
