Kevin's Baja-Style Grenadier Fish Tacos
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2-4 people
Ingredients
Fish & Batter
1 lb grenadier or rockfish, cut in pieces
Coconut oil, avocado oil, or peanut oil
1 cup flour
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
12 oz. beer
8 corn tortillas
Cabbage Salad
2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced or grated
1 fresh tomatoes, chopped
½ medium onion, diced
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
Spicy Mayo
½ Cup Mayonnaise
Tapatío hot sauce (to taste)
Lime Juice (to taste)
Garnish
Lime wedges (optional)
Queso fresco (optional)
Preparation
Prepare the salad and the spicy mayonnaise and set aside. Put tortillas in the oven to warm or warm on the griddle while frying the fish.
Mix all dry ingredients for the batter together well. Add 12 oz. beer, or until batter has the consistency of pancake batter.
Add oil to a pot or deep frying pan - enough to cover the bottom of the pan with at least 1/2 inch. Heat to 360˚F.
Dip each piece of fish in the batter and fry until golden, then lay on paper towels to drain. Keep warm.
Serve the crispy fish in warm corn tortillas topped with spicy mayonnaise sauce and the cabbage salad.
Optional: squeeze lime wedges over taco filling and crumble queso fresco on top.
