Baja Fish Tacos

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb boneless cod (or any local white fish)
• 6 each flour or corn tortillas
• 1 bag coleslaw mix
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 4 oz Saucy Chipotle Salsa
• 1 cup all-purpose or rice flour
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup soda Water
• 4 cup canola Oil
• Black pepper & kosher salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine flour, cayenne pepper and a good pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper, whisk together. Slowly add in the soda water while whisking just until the batter comes together, do not over mix.  Add a few ice cubes to the batter and place in the fridge.
2. Cut the fish into strips and place on plate on top of paper towels.
3. In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayonnaise and salsa, then add in the coleslaw mixture and fold together, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, set aside.
4. Heat a cast iron pan or a large sided sauté pan with canola oil until temperature hits 350-375-degrees.
5. Dip the fish sticks into the batter (stir the batter with a fork to mix it up) then drip off the excess batter, slowly lay it into the oil and begin to fry. About 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat until all the fish has been fried. Remove and lay on paper towels and season with a good pinch of salt right after it comes out of the oil.
6. Place the fried fish in a tortilla and top with slaw.
