COPYCAT RUBIO'S FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black ground pepper.
• Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until well blended.
• Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely dry before dipping into batter.
• Prepare salsa; reserve.
• Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375°F
• Place fish in a single layer--do not let pieces touch each other.
• Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
• Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet or Mexican comal until they are soft and hot.
• To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to serve.

SAN FELIPE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix together the white sauce and set aside.
• Wash cod fillets by dipping in cold water and lemon juice. Drain on paper towels and pat dry (note: must be dry before dipping into beer batter).
• Mix together beer batter ingredients.
• Put canola oil in deep skillet (teflon coated preferred) and get oil really hot (approx 375 degrees).
• Dip both sides of cod fillets into beer batter and place in the skillet in a single layer (pieces shouldn't touch each other). Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
• Take out and place on paper towels and blot off the excess oil. Cut fillets into smaller pieces to fit in tortilla. I use scissors - it's easier.
• Heat corn tortillas lightly in a heavy skillet until soft and hot. Or if preferred, deep fry in hot oil in skillet (20 seconds each side).
• On each tortilla, layer fish fillet, add white sauce, squeeze a lime wedge across the top, add your favorite salsa, and top with shredded cabbage.
