Instructions
I love fried food, but more of a healthy way to eat these days is grilling instead. So choose your liking and off you go!
For the sauce:
Combine the sour cream and mayo, Mix well and add the rest of the ingredients. Again, season to your liking. Place in the fridge at least 1-5 hours before serving.
For the Beer Batter:
(Make sure you have paper towels or even better a paper sack to soak up the excess oil once fish is fried).
Mix flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and pinch of salt. Beat the egg into the beer and add to dry ingredients.
Heat skillet with about 2 inches of cooking oil, or even better use a deep fryer. Make sure it's hot, the fryer will be set at about 365. The skillet will start to have bubbles forming at the bottom on the pan. To test as you don't want soggy fish, drop a small amount of batter into oil and see if it starts to sizzle and bubble. Drench fish into batter and place into skillet or deep fryer.Don't crowd the pan though. Fry about 3 minutes and flip over, batter will start to be a golden brown. Once cooked, take out with slotted spoon/spatula and place on paper sack or paper towels.
Grilling:
Heat grill medium heat. I use a piece of foil on the grill so the fish doesn't fall apart and spray it with Pam. Grill once nice and hot about 3-4 minutes on each side, until done to your liking.
Warm up tortillas and serve hot. Use cabbage and onions as the "relish" if you like.
