Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup EACH: mayo and plain yogurt
2 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (see note #1)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove garlic (finely minced)
A pinch of salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cabbage
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons EACH: oil and lime juice
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
Oil (for frying (see note #2))
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (divided)
2 teaspoons EACH: garlic powder and onion powder
1 teaspoon EACH: baking soda, salt, and pepper
1 ½ lb. white fish
1 ½ cups light beer (ice-cold (see note #3))
18 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Mix the chipotle sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Mix the slaw ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Pour 2-inches of oil into a large, high-sided skillet or medium-sized pot and begin heating it over medium heat. If you have an oil thermometer, attach it to the pot.
  • Mix ½ cup of the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.
  • In a large bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the fish into small pieces no more than 1" wide. Dry them well with paper towels then add them to the shallow bowl and toss them with the flour.
  • When the oil reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (see note #4) it's time to fry the fish. Pour the beer into the large bowl of flour and briefly mix it for 4-5 seconds. Dip a piece of fish into the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl. Carefully put it into the hot oil. Repeat with 5-6 more pieces, making sure not to crowd the pan. Let the fish cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the batter is golden all around and the fish is cooked through.
  • Using tongs, remove the fish from the oil and place it on a cooling rack set up over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fish until all the pieces are cooked.
  • Warm the tortillas (see note #5) then serve them piled with slaw, chipotle sauce, and crispy fish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h5m

Yield 4 fish tacos

Number Of Ingredients 32

16 ounces light beer, or more as needed
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound dried black beans
1 onion, halved leaving root attached, and peeled
1 plum tomato
2 tablespoons ground toasted cumin
1 tablespoon ground toasted coriander
Salt
1/4 cup black bean miso
1/4 cup red miso
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 bunch scallions
2 limes, juiced
1 egg
1 cup canola oil
1 jalapeno
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus some whole leaves, for garnish
1 hothouse cucumber, seeds removed, small dice
1 shallot, minced
3 tablespoons (store-bought) sesame soy vinaigrette
Salt or lime juice, as needed
Rice bran oil, for frying
4 flour tortillas
8 ounces ling cod or similar fish
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt
1 avocado, halved and pitted
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Japanese furikake seasoning, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the beer batter: In large bowl add half the beer. Add yeast, then stir to dissolve. With a whisk, slowly add the flour. Add more beer as needed to make a thin batter. Add salt. Place bowl in a warm spot. It will get foamy and rise in volume. Let rest and rise for about 2 hours.
  • Remove and discard top skin if one forms. Batter is now ready to use.
  • For the black beans: In large pot, add black beans, onion, tomato and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Remove tomato from pot. Once cool enough to handle, remove skin and discard. Rough chop tomato and add back to beans.
  • Allow beans to simmer until tender, about 2 hours. Remove onion and discard. Season with cumin, coriander and salt to taste. Keep beans hot until ready to serve.
  • For the miso aioli: In a food processor add miso pastes, hot sauce, soy sauce, scallions, lime juice and egg. Blend until smooth. With machine running, slowly drizzle oil in until all is incorporated.
  • For the charred jalapeno and cucumber salsa: Place jalapeno on a hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, until skin is charred and black. Remove from heat. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel and remove seeds. Dice finely.
  • Combine jalapeno, cilantro, cucumber and shallots in a bowl. Add vinaigrette, then mix. Taste and add salt or lime juice if needed. Set aside.
  • For the tacos: Fill up a fryer or very large pot with rice bran oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Warm tortillas over the burners on the stovetop. Set aside.
  • Place fish in the flour and toss to coat. Remove excess flour.
  • Add floured fish to beer batter using tongs. Remove from batter, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Using tongs, carefully place battered fish into hot oil. Wait a couple seconds before releasing fish into oil to prevent it from sinking and sticking to bottom.
  • Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oil and set on a paper towel-lined plate or tray. Season with salt.
  • On warm tortillas, spoon 2 tablespoons hot black beans. Place cooked fish on beans. Place 1 slice avocado on top. Spoon 1 tablespoon aioli on fish and avocado. Add 1 tablespoon salsa.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of furikake.

BEER-BATTERED FISH TACOS



Beer-battered fish tacos image

Pile chunks of battered cod, herby tartare and pink pickled onions into tortilla wraps to make these moreish tacos. They serve four, but won't last long!

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 19

150g plain flour
75g cornflour
½ tsp fine sea salt
230ml cold beer
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
4 skinless and boneless cod loins, cut in to 3cm pieces
8 small soft corn tortillas
2 Little Gem lettuces, shredded
hot sauce, to serve (optional)
150ml white wine vinegar
1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
1 tsp peppercorns
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 large red onion, finely sliced
150g mayonnaise
½ small bunch of dill, finely chopped
½ small bunch of basil, finely chopped
½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp capers, chopped

Steps:

  • First, make the pickled onions. Put the vinegar in a pan with 150ml water, the coriander seeds, peppercorns, sugar and 1 tsp salt over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Scoop the onions into a bowl and carefully pour over the hot pickling liquid. Leave to cool for 15 mins, then cover and chill for at least 1 hr. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
  • For the tartare sauce, mix together all the ingredients, then cover and chill. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
  • Sift the flour and cornflour into a bowl, then stir through the salt. Make a well in the centre and whisk in the cold beer to make a smooth batter. Cover and chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat the oil in a deep, heavy-based pan, no more than two-thirds full, until the oil reaches 190C on a cooking thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, check the oil is ready by dropping a small cube of bread into the oil - it should turn brown in about 10 seconds.
  • Dip each piece of cod into the batter to fully coat, then gently shake off the excess. Fry the fish in batches for 4 mins per batch, then remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Warm your tortillas in a low oven or in a dry frying pan. Spread over the tartare sauce, then add the fish and top with the pickled onions and shredded lettuce, plus a dash of hot sauce, if you like. Best enjoyed with a cold beer.

Categories     Mexican

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dark Mexican beer (I used Negra Modelo)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
salt & pepper
oil (for frying)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
black pepper
2 lbs , white fish cut into 5 by 1/2 inch strips (I used Tilapia but Halibut would work)
corn tortilla
2 cups of shredded cabbage
salsa or guacamole

Steps:

  • For the Beer Batter: Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add in the beer while whisking. Set aside and let the batter rest for 15 minutes before using.
  • For Cream Sauce: Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon zest, lemon juice and water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper (can be made 3 days ahead, covered and refrigerated).
  • For the Fish: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of 1-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when inserted into the oil.
  • On a large plate, combine the flour and salt. Season the fish pieces all over with salt and pepper and coat with the flour. Working in batches, dip the fillets in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Make tacos with the tortillas and fish and top each with cream, shredded cabbage, salsa and guacamole, if desired.

The crispy batter and flaky fish are complemented by the fresh and flavorful toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make beer-battered fish tacos that are sure to impress your friends and family.
