Fish Tacos - the Real Deal

• 34 cup flour
• 12 teaspoon baking powder
• 12 teaspoon dried oregano
• 12 teaspoon garlic powder
• 12 teaspoon chili powder
• 14 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt & pepper, as you like
• 1 egg yolk
• 4 -6 ounces beer (any type truly works)
• oil (for frying)
• 12 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 12 lime
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 (8 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
• 1 lb white fish (tilapia works well, have even used large mounth bass we caught!)
• steamed flour tortilla
• lime, for squeezing

1. Get batter ingredients together.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, spices, beer and egg yolk.
3. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add a bit more beer, but don't let it get watery -- it should be plenty thick to coat the fish.
4. Certainly feel free to drink the rest of the can!
5. Cover the batter and let sit in fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
6. As a variation, you can whip the residual egg white into a thick froth and fold in just before you dip fish -- no waste - makes for a lighter batter.
7. Heat oil to 375 or so.
8. In a separate bowl, mix mayo, cilantro, and enough lime juice to make it "saucy".
9. Slice the avocado and open coleslaw mix.
10. Cut fish into portions that will fit well in a taco after you fry them.
11. (I use frozen tilapia fillets - cut down middle).
12. Once oil is hot, dip fish in batter and get well coated.
13. Cook 1 or 2 slices at a time - drop a slice into oil while batter is still dripping off and fry for about 4-5 minutes - turning half way through.
14. While fish is cooking, go ahead and steam the tortillas (microwave between 2 wet papertowels works).
15. You are done!
16. Grab a steamed tortilla, add a pice of fish, a couple of slices of avocado, sprinkle on some cabbage mix and add sauce to taste.
17. You can also squeeze a little lime juice just at the end.
