Ingredients
White Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Fish Tacos:
- Oil
- 2 packages Tempura Batter Mix
- 1 can beer
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 24 ounces boneless cod, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 6 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 limes
Directions
For the sauce:
Mix all ingredients together and set aside.
Preheat a fryer or a deep pot halfway filled with oil to 375 degrees F.
Mix 1 of the packages of batter, but only use 1/2 the required amount of water and use beer for the remaining amount instead. Add the beer until the batter becomes almost like a heavy cream consistency.
Using the other package of batter add salt and garlic powder, coat cod pieces with the dry mix, then dip into prepared batter. Deep-fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Place fried cod pieces on warmed corn tortillas, add white sauce to fish, a little shredded cabbage and a squeeze of lime, to taste.

This was really good, I seasoned the cabbage with Mirin, lime and toasted sesame oil, added Adobe to the mayo and didn't add the milk since we were out. I added mexican chili powder to season the fish and the batter and didn't have to coat the fish with dry mix prior to dipping. LOVED IT!

I haven't had fish tacos this good since I left California 3 years ago! I didn't have any tempura batter so I substituted it with panko breadcrumbs instead and I cut the recipe in 1/2 since only my husband and I were going to eat it. I also added a hint of cayenne to spice up the sauce. We we each had 3 tacos and it was absolutely delicious! This will definitely be something I make on a monthly basis : The mayo by itself isn't phenomonal but when you combine everything together it's pretty darn good! Highly recommended you try this....
