BEER-BATTERED FISH TACOS

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 1h4m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs skinless boneless cod (cut crosswise into 16 strips)
kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

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.
