Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Halibut fillets, cut into 3-inch strips
  • 12 oz IPA Beer (chilled)
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup Pickled jalapeños(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the halibut strips completely dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt.

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the cold IPA into the flour mixture, whisking gently until the batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Dredge halibut pieces in a little extra dry flour, then dip into the spicy IPA batter to coat thoroughly.

    Carefully drop fish into the hot oil in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.

    Assemble tacos by placing fish on tortillas, topping with cabbage, jalapeños, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
