directions

Battered fish:
MIx flour, Old bay seasoning,Mexican oregano, salt,onion powder,chipotle, and garlic together, pour beer in a separate container and let bubbles subside. Add egg and Beer to dry mixture.

Dip each strip of fish in batter and deep fry for about 90 sec to 2 min till the batter is a golden brown color. Drain on paper towels.
Taco filling:
Thinly slice the cabbage into a slaw type cut and adding the radishes and jalapenos. Add vinegar and set aside Slice avocados and set aside and use as an optional item.
Sauce:
Combine the mayonnaise, crema, 1 tsp Chipotle, garlic, and the juice of ½ lime in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning. The chipotle will give this sauce an excellent smoky flavor. When adding start with a ½ tsp and taste. If too hot, add a little bit more mayonnaise and Crema. If not hot enough add a ¼ tsp more and test again. If still not hot enough add the remaining ¼ tsp of chipotle. Cut the remaining 2½ limes into wedges and set aside.
Assembly:
Warm tortillas on very hot cast iron skillet and set on plate. Add battered fish, squeeze lime wedge over fish, add taco filling and a ribbon of sauce. Add avocado if desired.
