Meat and Fish Recipes Spring Summer

Baja Style, Beer Battered Fish Tacos

Baja Style, Beer Battered Fish Tacos | myhumblekitchen.com

 

There’s something about simple fried foods during the summer time that makes life something to be enjoyed. Biting into food with a crispy crunch knowing that it’s a bit naughty makes everything seem, oh so right.

Hey, it’s summer – a time to relax and have fun, and let me tell you, these Baja style, beer battered fish tacos are a lot of fun!

When I bite into a Baja fish taco, I like to hear that crunch followed by a deep flavor that you can only get from a good quality crafted beer. For my tacos I used Boulevard Wheat but I’ve also used a Fat Tire from New Belgium that have turned out delicious in their own right.

These tacos pair well with my Mexican summer coleslaw on the side or even garnished within.

Although Big and Little Brother aren’t fans of the taco, they love to take the pieces of fried fish and dip them in ketchup.  Like I said, it’s summer.  The time to relax and have fun.

    We just finished eating the the leftovers from last night. Amazing recipe! We started thinking about the leftovers at 10 this morning and could hardly wait until noon. Nothing is left and we all wish we had more. It is our new favorite recipe! Printed one hard copy for my husband’s book and scanned my copy.
    Best slaw ever and I am on the way to the store for at least 3 more pounds of cod for the freezer! thank you!
