BEER BATTER FISH TACOS

While we love beer battered fish with a side of chips (a.k.a. fries), we’re also big fans of beer battered fish in tacos! Despite the fried fish, it’s a surprisingly light meal. You can make this recipes with a lighter beer, but we really like a more flavourful beer like the Tool Shed Red Rage, which you can order with your groceries from Spud Calgary! If fish tacos aren’t your thing, you can also use this beer batter to coat your fave seafood or even veggies.

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 375 °F.
2. Sift 1 1/2 cups of flour into a large bowl and gently stir in the can of beer. Reserve 1/2 of the flour for dredging.
3. Pat your strips of fish dry and season with salt and pepper before coating in the beer batter. Once coated in batter, dredge in the dry flour and place into the oil.
4. Fry fish for around 4-5 minutes, turning frequently until it is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towel.
5. Work in batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan, returning the oil to 375 °F between batches.
6. Once cooked, assemble your tacos!
