Baja Fish Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb catfish nuggets or 1 lb other white fish, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 cup dark beer
    1 cup flour
    2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
    1/2 bunch cilantro
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/4 cup lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix (optional)
    vegetable oil, for deep fat frying
    12 corn tortillas
    Garnishes
    finely shredded cabbage
    chopped tomato
    lime wedge
    finely chopped onions or scallion
    chopped cilantro
Preparation
    Whisk together the flour, beer, and taco seasoning mix.
    Wash catfish nuggets and pat dry with paper toweling.
    In a food processor or blender, process for a few seconds sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and additional taco seasoning mix to taste.
    You don't want to totally liquify the cilantro.
    Prepare garnishes as you heat about 1/2\" of oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan to 360F.
    Dip fish nuggets into batter and place in hot oil with a fork.
    Turn once after about 1 minute and brown the other side for another minute.
    Do this in batches.
    Don't crowd the fish.
    Drain on paper toweling and keep warm in a 200F oven until ready to serve.
    Heat tortillas in foil in the oven or nuke them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
