Fish Tacos with Baja Sauce

[Jay Scott]

By Darr Colburn

I have to admit I used to not be much of a fish eater. I loved catching any type of fish but up until a few years ago always let everything go. Now days I get cravings for fish, especially this recipe. I bought a fish fryer last season and it made all the difference when frying fish. I love to cook and try different recipies. This recipe for fish tacos is a huge hit with my family and friends. We usually try and load up the freezer during the spring and summer with crappie. You could use any type of fish but I prefer crappie, bass or striper. The Baja Sauce is amazing and makes the recipe. You can adjust the cayanne pepper and jalepenos to your liking. Here is what you will need.

1 lb of thawed fish fillets1 cup beer1 cup Shore Lunch Beer Batter (Best Batter I have found)1/3 to 1/2 package of taco seasoningcooking oilMix the batter with the beer and taco seasoning. I don't like the batter to be to thick. Cut the fish fillets into bite sized nuggets and throw them in the batter and stir until covered. Heat your cooking oil to 350 degrees and fry the fish until golden brown. Remove fish pieces from fryer and drain on a paper towel.

Baja Sauce1/2 cup plain yogurt1/2 cup mayo ( I will sometimes use 1/4 mayo and 1/4 cup light sour cream)1 lime juiced1 jalepeno minced1 teaspoon minced capers1/2 teaspoon dried oregano1/2 teaspoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepperOnce the fish is cooked place 4-5 pieces on a soft tortilla and garnish with shredded cabbage, avocado, salsa and the baja sauce. Sqeeze a little lime on top and enjoy!

Sounds like something that should be served at camp with hunters that book with Colburn and Scott Outfitters.

Kevin I agree. We may try it in January. Hope you are having a good summer and we are looking forward to hunting with you guys.

I don't sign in as frequently with hunting season a ways off, but this was a pleasant surprise. It is the first post I have ever copied and saved on my computer. Now I just need to get out and catch some fish so I can try it out. Thanks!
