Beer Battered Fish Tacos with Avocado Corn Salsa

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound bass or another white fish, cut into 1-2 inch wide x 4 inch pieces
  • 4 flour tortillas

Chipotle Crema

  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Salsa

  • 3 earns of corn husks and silks removed (or 1 can of corn)
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed, finely diced
  • 1 avocado pitted and diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Batter

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 bottle of beer
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Salsa

  • Saute onion, bell pepper, and corn for 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place mixture in bowl with olive oil, lime juice and cilantro. Mix together. Let chill for one hour.

Prepare the Crema

  • Add sour cream, chipotle pepper, and lime juice to the food processor. Pulse until fully mixed.

Prepare Batter

  • Heat oil in cast iron skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl. Add in beer. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Soak the fish in the batter.
  • Fry the fish until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • While the fish is frying, take the salsa out of the fridge and stir in diced avocado.

Making the Tacos

  • Lay out the tortillas flat and spoon some salsa, followed by a piece of fish and dollop of the chipotle sour cream.

Notes

For a healthier version, instead of frying in a beer batter, marinate the fish for 1 hour in old bay seasoning and juice of 1/2 lime. Then grill.
If you are not a fan of spicy food - you might want to use 1/2 of a chipotle pepper (you can store the rest of peppers and sauce in ziploc bag and freeze).
