We recommend using Pluck Spicy, All-Purpose or Zesty Garlic for this recipe.
These beer-battered cod tacos scream summer! White, flaky cod, stone-ground corn tortillas, tangy cilantro slaw brings the Baja peninsula to your door.
In a medium sized bowl, mix the slaw ingredients. Place slaw mixture in the fridge until ready.
In a separate small, shallow mixing bowl, mix ½ cup of the flour, along with the Pluck seasoning.
In another large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1 c. flour, along with the baking soda, salt and pepper.
Cut the fish into small pieces. Dry them well with paper towels.
Take dried fish and add them to the small, shallow bowl and coat them well with flour.
It’s time to start frying your fish. Pour 2-inches of oil into a large, high-sided skillet or medium-sized pot. Begin heating the oil over medium heat. If you have an oil thermometer, you can also attach it to the pot.
Once your oil is preheated, pour the beer into the large bowl of flour, soda, salt and pepper. Mix it briefly for 7-8 seconds.
Using metal tongs, dip each piece of fish into that batter and let the excess drip off.
Place fish into the frying pan (as many as you can fit without overcrowding it). Cook for roughly 3-4 min each side or until batter is golden all around and fish is cooked through.
Once done, use tongs to remove fish from the fryer and set on a cooling rack set up over a baking sheet (to let excess liquid drain off).
Repeat until all fish is cooked.
Over a medium sauté pan, fry your tortillas until warm and brown. See recipe notes for an additional method.
Serve tortillas with crispy beer battered cod and top with slaw and desired salsa.
