Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs. mahi fillets
  • Oil
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 9 oz. beer

Instructions
 

To assemble:

  • Flour tortillas, grilled
  • Cilantro lime slaw
  • Sesame chile sauce

Directions:

  • Prepare fish by cutting into 1/2-inch thick and 3-4-inch-long strips and keep cool until ready for frying.
  • Heat oil to 350° using an electric skillet, fryer, or a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove with a thermometer.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs together until smooth, then add to dry ingredients.
  • Slowly whisk in beer until the mixture has reached a pancake batter consistency.
  • Working in batches, coat each strip of fish in batter and immediately drop into hot oil.
  • Fry until crisp and golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from oil and transfer to a paper towel to drain.
  • To create the dish, add fish to grilled tortilla, top with slaw, and drizzle with sesame chile sauce.
