Method
1. Prepare the fish
Pat dry and season the fish on both sides with salt. Cut into strips that are approximately 2cm by 6cm.
2. To make the curtido
Slice the cabbage, onion and jalapeño. Add to a mixing bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Toss, cover and keep refrigerated until needed.
3. To make the chipotle crema
Place ingredients into a food processor and combine well. Slowly add water if mixture is too thick. For extra heat, add more chipotles.
4. To make the beer batter
Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Combine well and then add beer. Whisk together until you have batter that is the consistency of thick paint, adding more beer if necessary.
5. Fry the fish
One at a time, dip the fish sticks into the batter and drop them gently into frying oil. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes or until the exterior is turning a darker brown.
Carefully remove the fish from the oil and drain them in some paper towels, continuing until all the portions are cooked.
6. To serve
Top warm tortillas with fish, chipotle crema, curtido and a final squeeze of lime.
