Steps:
- Heat a few inches of your cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat or in a deep fryer.
- Season all sides of your fresh cod fillets with salt, then slice into 8 even pieces.
- Shred your cabbage with a sharp chef's knife or a mandolin slicer.
- Place all of your batter ingredients in a shallow mixing bowl - all-purpose flour, sea salt, cayenne, egg, and Mexican beer. Whisk together the mixture until you create a smooth batter. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Baja fish taco sauce recipe - mayonnaise, crema, lime, cilantro, and honey.
- Once well mixed, toss in the sliced cabbage mix until well-coated. Set aside.
- Grab some heat-safe tongs or use your fingers to dip each piece of cod into the batter bowl. Hold the cod above the bowl for a few seconds to allow the excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the preheated oil.
- Fry the cod in the oil until both sides brown; you'll likely need to gently flip the fish over halfway as it often floats at the top.
- Remove the fish with a stainless steel mesh scoop, then transfer to a large dinner plate lined with a few paper towels. Lightly salt.
- Continue the deep-frying process until you've cooked all your cod.
- Use a tortilla warmer to heat your tortillas, then top them with a piece of cooked fish.
- Top with your cabbage slaw in Baja sauce
- Add your final fish taco toppings - a squeeze of fresh lime, cilantro, salsa verde, or pico de gallo.
- Immediately serve and enjoy your fried fish tacos with slaw!

CRISPY FISH TACOS
Steps:
- Cut the fish into 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Reserve 1 fillet and refrigerate for the online Round 2 Recipe, Ceviche.)
- To make the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in enough water, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups, until the mixture is the consistency of pancake batter.
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
- When the oil is hot, working in batches, dip the fish pieces into the batter and carefully add them to the hot oil. Cook the fish until golden brown on both sides and the fish is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Remove from the pan and drain on to a sheet tray lined with a paper bag or paper towels.
- To make the sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, garlic, and 2 tablespoons cilantro in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave on medium for 1 minute to warm. Put about 1/4 cup of the shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Put 3 pieces of the fried fish on top of the cabbage, then top with some sauce. Arrange the tacos on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the fish remains succulent, avoid overcooking it. Cook until it flakes easily with a fork, usually around 5-7 minutes per side for fillets or strips, and 8-10 minutes for whole fish.
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the fish in the batter or breading. This creates an extra layer of crunch and helps keep the fish moist inside.
- Use fresh, high-quality fish fillets or steaks for the best flavor and texture. White fish such as cod, haddock, tilapia, and flounder work well for fish tacos.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Serve the fish tacos immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
Conclusion:
These fried fish tacos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
