Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb white fish (like cod or tilapia)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 cup beer (or sparkling water)

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • Corn tortillas

  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, cilantro, avocado, salsa

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Mix flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in beer until smooth.

  2. Heat oil: In a skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat.

  3. Fry the fish: Dip fish pieces into the batter and fry until golden brown (about 2–3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

  4. Make slaw: Combine cabbage, mayo, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss to coat.

  5. Assemble tacos: Warm tortillas, place a piece of fish on each, top with slaw and your favorite toppings.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a healthier version, bake or air-fry the fish.

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter slaw.

  • Add mango salsa or chipotle mayo for extra flavor.
