Assemble and Serve
For a lighter version, skip the batter and frying. Season the fish strips with chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, then grill or pan-sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through.
Add a finely minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the lime crema for an extra smoky kick.
Customize your tacos with additional toppings like diced avocado, pico de gallo, sliced jalapeños, or crumbled cotija cheese.
This recipe works well with other firm white fish like halibut, mahi-mahi, or tilapia. You can also use shrimp.
Cod is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health and have been shown to reduce inflammation and support a healthy heart.
The fresh cabbage and lime juice provide a significant amount of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system and promotes healthy skin.
The cabbage slaw is packed with dietary fiber, which is crucial for digestive health, helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, and contributes to a feeling of fullness.
One serving, which consists of two tacos, contains approximately 650-750 calories. The exact number can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying and the specific brands of ingredients used.
While delicious, this version with beer-battered, fried fish is more of an indulgence. The fish provides healthy omega-3 fatty acids and the cabbage slaw offers fiber and vitamins. However, the frying process and creamy sauce add significant fat and calories. For a healthier option, consider grilling the fish instead of frying it.
A firm, mild-flavored white fish is ideal. Cod is a classic choice because it's flaky yet holds up well to frying. Halibut, mahi-mahi, and tilapia are also excellent options.
Yes. To make them gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the batter and ensure you use a gluten-free beer. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but always check the packaging to be sure.
It's best to store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fish is best reheated in an air fryer or oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain its crispiness. Avoid microwaving the fish as it will become soggy.
