Method
- 1 Cut the fish into 8 cm long strips, pat them dry, and toss with a little dry flour.
- 2 Mix the flour with cold beer to form a thin paste, and stir very lightly; the dry streaks of flour should be present.
- 3 Cold beer and minimal mixing are two conditions for a lightly crispy crust; a well-beaten batter results in a thick and firm crust.
- 4 Fry the fish at 180 degrees for 3 minutes, then let it stand on a rack to drain the oil.
- 5 Mix shredded cabbage with mayonnaise, ground chipotle peppers, and lime juice to make a salad.
- 6 Heat the tortilla, then arrange the fried fish, cabbage salad, cilantro, and squeeze in some lime juice. Serve immediately.
