Method
Preparation
- Step 1: Prep the Fish and Batter - Cut your fish into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, combine flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly mix in beer or sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Step 2: Heat the Oil - In a large skillet, pour about an inch of vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Coat the Fish - Dip each fish piece into the batter until evenly coated and let the excess drip off.
Cooking
- Step 4: Fry the Fish - Carefully drop the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Step 5: Warm the Tortillas - While the fish cooks, warm your corn tortillas in another skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assembly
- Step 6: Make the Mango Salsa - In a bowl, mix together diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt to taste.
- Step 7: Assemble and Serve - Grab your warm tortillas, fill them with crispy fish, top with mango salsa, and enjoy!
Notes
For deeper flavor, let your fish marinate briefly in lime juice before cooking. Customize your salsa by adding diced avocado for creaminess. Serve with slices of lime on the side for tanginess.
