Ingredients
3 lbs 3 Grouper or Corvina (See note)
1 1 Juice of 1 Lime
2 1/2 cup 2 1/2 Wheat flour
1 1/2 bottle 1 1/2 Dark Mexican beer (I prefer Negra Modelo)
Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder to taste
14 oz 14 Oil for frying
2/3 cup 2/3 fresh cilantro
Directions
- Cut fish in cubes, marinate 10 minutes with lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Prepare the batter by mixing the all purpose flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once it is all well mixed, start adding the beer. Whisk well to avoid any lumps. The batter needs to have a creamy consistency, if it is too light you should add a bit more flour, and if too thick you can add a bit more beer.
- Dip fish into batter and drip off any excess. Carefully drop into hot oil. Fry until golden on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with all fish.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, assemble the tacos with red cabbage, pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, and garnish with Cilantro. You can add more lime to the fish to taste.
Notes
- I favor grouper for this recipe, but any white fish will do the trick. You can substitute with Corvina, Cod, Mahi Mahi or any other fish you may prefer.
- I use dark beer for this recipe. Negra Modelo is my go to for this recipe, but Guiness or any other dark beer will work just as well. You can also use a blonde beer if you don't have a dark beer handy.
