Baja Fried Fish Tacos With Spicy Cabbage Slaw - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup salsa
    1/3 cup mayonnaise
    vegetable oil (for deep frying)
    3/4 cup beer, plus
    2 -3 tablespoons beer
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 - 1 1/4 lb cod fish fillet, cut into 2 inch cubes
    8 corn tortillas
    4 cups coleslaw mix
    8 lime wedges
Preparation
    In a small bowl, mix salsa and mayonnaise; set aside.
    In a Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). While the oil heats up, whisk beer, flour and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
    Using a fork, coat fish pieces in batter. Working in 2 batches, slide coated fish into hot oil. Fry until golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels; keep warm.
    In a dry hot skillet, warm corn tortillas individually for 1-2 minutes per side. Stack on top of each other and keep warm in the oven.
    To assemble, place 2 corn tortillas each on 4 individual plates.
    Put 1/2 cup of cabbage on each tortilla. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the salsa mixture over each one. Evenly distribute fish pieces over the salsa and cabbage. Serve with lime wedges.
