Sharing an EASY, step-by-step guide for how to make this taco truck fav at home! Crisp battered fish with creamy sauce and slaw, this taco is 10/10. 🔥 Expert Tips and Tricks for Perfect Baja Fish Tacos 🔥 ⚡️ Batter Consistency: Aim for a batter akin to pancake batter. Strike a balance for crispy exteriors and perfectly cooked fish inside, not too thick for doughiness, not too thin for poor coating. ⚡️ Oil Temperature: Fry at 350°F to 375°F (175°C to 190°C). Low temp leads to greasy fish, and high can burn before cooking through. A cooking thermometer helps maintain the sweet spot. ⚡️ Rest Your Batter: Let beer batter rest for 10 minutes before using. Flour swells, yielding a cohesive batter for better adhesion to the fish. ⚡️ Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas for pliability; a griddle or gas flame imparts a slightly charred flavor, enhancing the taco experience. ⚡️Beer Selection: Light beers like lagers create crisp crusts due to carbonation. Experiment with ales or stouts for deeper flavors. ⚡️ Fish Temperature: The fish interior should reach 125ºF for perfect flakiness. ⚡️Avoid Overcrowding: Work in batches; overcrowding cools oil too quickly, resulting in greasier fish. ⚡️Adjust for Cold Ingredients: If beer and fish are very cold, add more cooking time and test one piece first to ensure doneness. ⚡️ Maintain Oil Temperature: Bring oil back to 375ºF between batches for crispy exteriors. 👉🏻Full recipe at https://foodess.com/baja-fish-tacos/ or tap through clickable link in bio.
