FRIED FISH TACOS TO REMIND YOU OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
I went to Baja California to visit parents and tried to copy the taste of what we had at a few taco stands there, and this fried fish taco is closest we could come up with.

Steps:
- Place onion in resealable plastic bag with 1 teaspoon salt, basil, and oregano. Squeeze in juice from 1 1/2 limes. Add enough water to help spread marinade all over the onion slices. Seal and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and the juice of 1 lime in a bowl. Mix, adding more lime juice as needed, until the white sauce is runny. Cut the remaining limes into wedges.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep pot over medium heat.
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Place tortillas in oven to keep warm.
- Whisk flour, beer, and egg together in a medium bowl until texture resembles pancake batter. Dip 3 to 4 pieces of fish into the mixture and fry in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining fish.
- Place fried fish over warmed tortillas, topped with the marinated onions, white sauce, lime wedges, cabbage, pico de gallo, and cilantro.

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 crema 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, tomatillo salsa and pickled jalapenos, if desired.
- *Cook's Note: Crack open a cold Mexican cerveza like a Negra Modelo or a 2 Equis (XX) Amber to make this tasty beer batter, which will change the way you think about fried fish! You can use it for vegetables, too.
- **Cook's Note: Mexican Crema is Mexico's version of creme fraiche and is found at many supermarkets and can easily be substituted with sour cream.

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!

BAJA FISH TACOS
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.
