How to make Baja Fresh Fish Tacos
Cut the fish filets into 4 long pieces or bite-sized cubes on a cutting board.
Season the fish on both sides with salt and set aside.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, cumin, and honey in a bowl. Set aside.
In a shallow wide breading bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, cayenne pepper, and egg. Pour in just enough beer to make a nice batter consistency. Whisk in until no lumps remain.
In an electric skillet heat oil about 1/2″ deep to 350°F.
Dip the fish into the batter and allow the excess batter to drip off.
Carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the fish for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate and season with more salt.
Cook the tortillas over an open flame for about 30 seconds per side.
To each tortilla, add shredded cabbage, 1 beer-battered fish strip, and the Baja cream sauce. Serve and enjoy!
