San Felipe Fish Tacos

"Our favorite fish tacos! The white sauce adds a delightful element to the tacos. Recipe was published in our local newspaper as the fish taco recipe from Rubios Baja Grill, San Diego, CA. When we lived there Rubios was our favorite place for a quick bite to eat."

directions

  • Mix together the white sauce and set aside.
  • Wash cod fillets by dipping in cold water and lemon juice. Drain on paper towels and pat dry (note: must be dry before dipping into beer batter).
  • Mix together beer batter ingredients.
  • Put canola oil in deep skillet (teflon coated preferred) and get oil really hot (approx 375 degrees).
  • Dip both sides of cod fillets into beer batter and place in the skillet in a single layer (pieces shouldn't touch each other). Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
  • Take out and place on paper towels and blot off the excess oil. Cut fillets into smaller pieces to fit in tortilla. I use scissors - it's easier.
  • Heat corn tortillas lightly in a heavy skillet until soft and hot. Or if preferred, deep fry in hot oil in skillet (20 seconds each side).
  • On each tortilla, layer fish fillet, add white sauce, squeeze a lime wedge across the top, add your favorite salsa, and top with shredded cabbage.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Currently we live in Florida but hail from Arizona and California, where our heart remains. Our Maltese (Kiehls) is the love of our life and he's a real pistol! I work for fire rescue in administrative support and my husband is a general contractor. We love the outdoors and being close to water (oceans/lakes/rivers); the mountains; the desert; and the tropics. Every place is unique and possesses an inherent and distinct vibe and beauty. Now that we live in this part of the world, we travel to the Caribbean and beyond as much as possible. When we are home, our favorite pass-time is getting together with friends, neighbors, and family for some laughs, great food, wine, and music. Recipezaar is fantastic! Rarely do I use a cookbook anymore! I don't post anything without first preparing it. Collectively we make cooking interesting and a pleasurable experience. Because everyone's tastebuds are different, I won't smack on other people's recipe. We deal with enough negative stuff in life and it's neither necessary 'nor productive for someone to read how much a beloved recipe was disliked. However, constructive comments and suggestions are always welcome. Let's keep this an upbeat experience for everyone!
