Beer Battered Fish Tacos
Perfectly battered fish with a fresh crunchy salsa and spicy mayo!
This recipe will teach you how to get a perfectly battered piece of fish for a really yummy taco!
The fish goes perfectly with the fresh salsa as it balances it out, and then you get a taste of the creamy avocado & spicy mayo - so delicious!
A fresh flathead fillet works perfectly for this recipe as they are just the right shape and size! If you didn’t want to batter the fish, you don’t have to - you could season it with some sweet paprika, salt and cayenne pepper to give you those nice Mexican flavours!
Also, I love adding coriander to mine for some freshness but I know this is a controversial topic so feel free to leave it out!
