Light mayo is fine as a substitute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> Finely chop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/coriander-vs-cilantro\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/coriander-vs-cilantro\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fresh cilantro<\/a> for that bright, herby aroma. Flat-leaf parsley is an alternative if you\u2019re among those who find cilantro\u2019s taste soapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> The sour cream adds depth and sharpness to balance the mayo\u2019s creaminess. The lactic acid helps soften the cabbage too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lime juice:<\/strong> Lime (or lemon) juice will bring the slaw to life and cut through any oiliness in the fish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:<\/strong> A thin honey or maple syrup adds a warm caramel tone and takes some of the sourness out of the cabbage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Batter:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour will give you a light, crunchy batter that puffs up nicely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:<\/strong> This will create air in your batter mix, keeping it crisp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cayenne pepper:<\/strong> You\u2019ll be surprised how much spice you\u2019ll detect in each bite from just a little Cayenne pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beer:<\/strong> It\u2019s the signature ingredient in this recipe, acting as a leavening agent, thanks to the bubbles. Make sure it\u2019s very cold. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-alcoholic-beer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-alcoholic-beer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nonalcoholic beer<\/a> will work just as well as regular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cod fillets:<\/strong> Cod is the ideal choice because it\u2019s sweet, solid and not too fishy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn tortillas:<\/strong> Warm these to soften them for making the wrap that holds everything together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional toppings:<\/strong> Diced tomatoes, sliced avocado and\/or pickled red onion can be added at the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the slaw<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, mayonnaise, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, honey and a pinch of salt, then cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare the batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2018348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/TOHcom23_272912_P2_MD_04_27_2b-Beer-Battered-Fish-Tacos-e1721407783324.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"dipping fish in batter to make Beer Battered Fish Tacos\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in an electric skillet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-pan-for-deep-frying-on-the-stovetop\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-pan-for-deep-frying-on-the-stovetop\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deep pan<\/a>\u00a0or deep-fat fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375\u00b0F.

Finely shred lettuce, carrots and green onions instead, and reduce the refrigeration time so it doesn\u2019t go soggy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Beer-Battered Fish Tacos<\/h2>\n<p>You can store the separate ingredients, as in the slaw and fish fillets, in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Refrigerating the whole taco for later is not advisable, as it will turn mushy.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat beer-battered tacos?<\/h3>\n<p>When you deep-fry fish in batter, the fish steams inside the batter and the oil is kept on the surface. However, when you reheat fried fish fillets, the oil has had time to penetrate the batter, so it won\u2019t be as crispy. For the next-best result second time around, reheat the fish strips on a rack in a hot oven at 425\u00b0 for seven to nine minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Beer-Battered Fish Taco Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2018350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/TOHcom23_272912_P2_MD_04_27_4b-Beer-Battered-Fish-Tacos-e1721407726501.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Beer Battered Fish Tacos served on a plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What other kinds of fish can I use?<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve used cod here because it holds batter easily and stays succulent at a high frying temperature. You could try other types of white fish, however, including halibut, mahi mahi, tilapia or catfish. Avoid dark oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel or tuna.<\/p>\n<h3>What can I serve with beer-battered fish tacos?<\/h3>\n<p>These tacos are light in texture but substantial once you\u2019ve factored in the tortilla, so they\u2019re best served with a clean, citrusy salsa, a sweet succotash or a green salad. Or you can treat it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sides-for-fried-fish\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sides-for-fried-fish\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regular fish fry<\/a> and serve dips such as tartar sauce, pickles or just ketchup.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my batter falling off?<\/h3>\n<p>Adding too much beer will create a runny batter that&#8217;s destined to drip. Alternatively, you might get the batter just right but use oil that isn\u2019t hot enough, forgetting that there\u2019s cold beer in the batter. Use a thermometer to check the temperature between batches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you can&#8217;t keep your excitement under wraps while assembling these beer-battered fish tacos, that&#8217;s understandable.

They never get the exact same super crispy texture, but you can get close. An air fryer comes in handy here. For this fish, preheat the air fryer to 350\u00b0 and cook the fish in a single layer until heated through and lightly crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Or, arrange the fish on a rack set on a baking pan and bake in the oven at 425\u00b0 for 7 to 9 minutes.<br><br> <i>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/author\/peggy-woodward\/\">Peggy Woodward<\/a>, Taste Recipes Senior Food Editor<\/i>&nbsp;<\/div><\/div>"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes &amp; Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
