Beer Battered Fish Tacos

Beer Battered Fish Tacos
I use to love going out for a good fish taco when we lived in San Diego. Now that we are up in Northern California it’s not something you find easily and when you do find it’s not comparable. I think it’s the white sauce and shredded cabbage that make this taco so delicious and so unique to the region.

Beer Battered Fish Tacos
Many places offer fish tacos with the option of fried or grilled fish, if you can’t tell I’m a fan of the fried fish. But if you want to be more health conscious then grill or pan-cook your fish with some salt and pepper and make these accordingly with the white sauce and all the toppings.

Going with the beer batter? Ya… that’s the way we roll too. I do always seem to have beer batter left over and I don’t want to throw it out. This is when I raid my fridge to find some leftover random veggies. Batter and fry them up, and enjoy!

The recipe calls for pico de gallo, fresh is best but if you are lucky enough to have a grocery store that makes pico de gallo, then it might worth a try to save on time. You can also just chop up a tomato and some cilantro too if you have it.

If you have never tried one of these tacos, you really must! And if you can’t go to San Diego, then give this recipe a try, it’s the next best thing I promise.
