Description

Fresh and filling fish tacos come together with hearty black beans, homemade salsa and fresh fish in a style as close to what you would get off the Baja coast in Mexico.


Ingredients

Fish batter
120 grams / 3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
200 milliliters / 1 cup - 2 tablespoons soda water
600 grams / 1.3 pounds firm white fish, sliced into 4 inch pieces
Salsa
200 grams / 7 ounces tomatoes, finely diced
1 shallot, peeled and finely diced
1 handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
To serve
12 corn tortillas
57 grams / 1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
23 grams / 1/3 cup shredded cabbage
2 radishes, finely sliced


Instructions

Fish batter

  1. Combine the flour, smoked paprika and salt into a small bowl.
  2. Add in the soda water and whisk until the batter is smooth.
  3. Place a heavy frying pan on medium heat with a plenty of neutral oil (sunflower tends to be best here) to cover the base of the pan.
  4. Dip a piece of fish into the batter and coat in the batter completely.
  5. Lay into the hot oil and repeat with a further 2-3 pieces of fish in your frying pan.
  6. Cook until golden, approximately 3 minutes each side.
  7. Place on a plate to drain the additional oil off.
  8. Place further pieces of fish in the batter and cook until all have been cooked.

Salsa

  1. Meanwhile, combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Assembly

  1. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. To warm the tortillas, heat a small saucepan on low and place one tortilla until the edges rise slightly and they are lightly browned. Flip and heat the other side.
  3. Or place each individually into a microwave with a glass of water and heat until warm.
  4. Place on a plate and cover with a warm tea towel. Continue with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Place 1 or 2 pieces of fish in the center of a tortilla, top with a spoonful of salsa, a little shredded cabbage and spoon over a little of the lime mayo.
  6. Dig in!
