Fish Tacos Ingredients

Method

Fish Tacos Directions

1

Prepare the Slaw

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and beer. Whisk until smooth.

3

Prepare the Cod

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Cod

Dip the cod pieces into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Prepare the Fries

Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions while the cod is frying.

7

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the soft tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place a few pieces of fried cod in each tortilla, top with pickled cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, and drizzle with chipotle aioli.

8

Serve

Serve the fish tacos with a side of fries and enjoy!
