Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Prepare the Fish
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will help the batter stick better.

Fry the Fish
Dredge the fish pieces in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Mix the Cilantro Mayo
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix until well blended. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

Prepare the Cabbage Slaw
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated with the lime juice and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
