Baja Fish Tacos image

This recipe is dedicated to my niece Ruth who lives in San Diego. When I visit we always drive down to Ensenada for fish tacos. The fish are fried in batter there. I've taken a few liberties and added beer and taco seasoning to the batter. I prefer the catfish nuggets because they are nice and firm, have a great taste and are usually the cheapest fish at the local market.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb catfish nuggets or 1 lb other white fish, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup dark beer
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1/2 bunch cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix (optional)
vegetable oil, for deep fat frying
12 corn tortillas
finely shredded cabbage
chopped tomato
lime wedge
finely chopped onions or scallion
chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, beer, and taco seasoning mix.
  • Wash catfish nuggets and pat dry with paper toweling.
  • In a food processor or blender, process for a few seconds sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and additional taco seasoning mix to taste.
  • You don't want to totally liquify the cilantro.
  • Prepare garnishes as you heat about 1/2" of oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan to 360F.
  • Dip fish nuggets into batter and place in hot oil with a fork.
  • Turn once after about 1 minute and brown the other side for another minute.
  • Do this in batches.
  • Don't crowd the fish.
  • Drain on paper toweling and keep warm in a 200F oven until ready to serve.
  • Heat tortillas in foil in the oven or nuke them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.

These fish tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.
