Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage Salsa

    Chop the cabbage finely and place it in a bowl. Add chopped cilantro and mix well. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Chipotle Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pickled Onions and Jalapenos

    If using store-bought pickled onions and jalapenos, measure and set aside. If making homemade, ensure they are prepared ahead of time.

Frying the Haddock

  1. 4

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 6

    Fry the Haddock

    Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 8

    Build the Tacos

    Place a piece of fried haddock in each tortilla. Top with cheddar jack cheese, cabbage salsa, pickled red onion, pickled jalapenos, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli.

  3. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your fried haddock tacos!
