- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Beer Battered Fish
- frying oil canola or vegetable
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 ounces beer of choice I used a brown ale for added flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pound cod fillets cut into 2-3 inch long strips
Fish and Chips Tacos
- 8 flour tortillas warmed through slightly
- 1 package frozen sweet potato fries I used Alexia brand, cooked per manufacturer's instructions
- 1 cup spicy tartar sauce see above
- 1 pound fried cod see above
- Lemon wedges chopped parsley and malt vinegar (for garnish and serving)
Instructions
Spicy Tartar Sauce
- In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the tartar sauce until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use.
Beer Battered Fish
- To a deep dutch oven, add the oil, filling it halfway. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
- While your oil is heating up, prepare your fish. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, beer, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, add the remaining 1 cup of flour.
- Taking each piece of cod, dredge in the flour, shaking to release any excess. Then add the fish to the batter, making sure to fully coat each piece and shaking to get rid of any excess. Immediately transfer the fish to the hot oil. Fry the fish for about 5-6 minutes, flipping once, until brown and crispy. Work in batches, so that you do not overcrowd the pan. I fried about 5-6 pieces at once.
- Transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate, or place in a low oven to keep warm until you are ready to serve.
- Assemble your tacos by layering sweet potato fries, fried cod and spicy tartar sauce on 8 flour tortillas. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Enjoy!
