Beer-Battered Fish Tacos with Sriracha Mayo
- 4 whole 6 Inch Tortillas
- 1/2 pounds White Fish
- 3 Tablespoons Oil
- 1- 3/4 cup Pastry Or All Purpose Flour
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Beer
- 1 whole Small Tomato, Diced
- 1/2 whole Small Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Chill Pepper, Diced
- 3 whole Small Limes
- 1 bunch Cilantro, Diced
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
- 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- In a pan over medium high heat, heat the tortillas to get a slight crisp and to aerate them for about 30 seconds on each side.
- This creates a lighter finish.
- Set aside.
- Slice of the fish into the size you want your fish tacos to be.
- Usually two pieces or so go into one fish taco, so slice accordingly.
- Heat oil in a medium-sized pan over high heat.
- Have a splash guard nearby if you own one.
- Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder together.
- Add the beer and whisk it in until there are no clumps.
- Dip the fish cutlets into the beer batter until coated.
- Quickly place into the oil only when the oil begins to sizzle.
- (You can test the oil by putting a piece of onion into the oil to see if it sizzles.)
- Fry fish for about 3 minutes on each size, or until the batter has been cooked and has browned on each side.
- Remove and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- For the pico de gallo, mix the tomato, onion, and chili pepper, combining until mixed together.
- Squeeze the limes over the mixtureyou want to pico de gallo to soak in the lime juice, so ensure the entire mixture is covered slightly with the juice.
- Allow to soak for about 15 minutes to ensure all the flavours are extracted.
- (This can be done before the fish is even battered.)
- After 15 minutes, add cilantro and mix.
- Mix the Sriracha and mayonnaise.
- I would advise adding 2 teaspoons of Sriracha at a time to ensure you get it to your desired level of spiciness.
- Add a squeeze of lime in the mixture.
- Place in a squeeze bottle if you have one to make it easier to squeeze onto the tacos.
- To assemble the fish tacos, place the fish in the tortilla.
- Add some pico de gallo and squeeze the sriracha sauce over it all.
- Serve tacos with limes for an extra citrus flavour.
