So, I've got another recipe for ya! Being in Alaska, we have a freezer FULL of Halibut. I have never really been a fish person, but halibut is the best. And however you make it, it is so good- grilled, fried, in pasta or lasagna or chowder.
I can say with certainty, though, that this recipe is my hands down favorite. Beer battered halibut is AMAZING. You should come to Alaska, come fishing with us, and get your own halibut to fry!
I am in no way recommending this as a healthy recipe, so Mom, forgive me for the fried food. :)
So, this is your end product. Beer Battered Halibut with fixins on homemade tortillas. You can check out my homemade tortilla recipe here.
We loved it with as tacos but it is good just eating the beer battered halibut on its own with tartar sauce.
Beer Battered Halibut
Ingredients:
1 cup dark beer
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1- 1/2 pounds halibut
1 quart (or close to it) vegetable oil, for frying
Flour or Corn Tortillas, or make your own!
Shredded Cabbage
Mayonnaise
Salsa
1 Lime
Directions:
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, and salt.
Step 2: Rinse the fish and pat it dry. Cut into 2-3 inch strips.
Step 3: Fill a large saucepan up with about 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 360 degrees, or hot enough until if you drop a small bit of water it will sizzle.
Step 4: Using a fork, coat the fish in the batter.
Step 5: Slide the fish into the hot oil in batches and make sure to adjust the heat to maintain oil temperature.
Step 6: Fry the fish until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Repeat to remaining fish.
Step 7: Stack fish on tortillas. Garnish with cabbage, mayonnaise, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
Special Sauce:
We also made a special sauce with a mix of a little bit of the following ingredients (use your judgement as to how spicy you would want it):
Sour Cream, Mayonnaise, Salsa, Tiny Bit of Tabasco Sauce, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Salt, and a little Cilantro

We LOVE Guacomole and Chips with just about every meal. Tony has an amazing way of making Guacomole, so maybe someday he will share!
If you haven't bought the "Hint of Lime" Tostitos, you are missing out! They are so good. And especially good with this meal.
Don't forget the salsa. It's a must- for eating with chips, for a dipping sauce, or to garnish the tacos.
For us, we like to cook with beer that we could actually drink.
We used Fire Rock Pale Ale by Kona Brewing Company.
Some other suggestions for good beer for this recipe could be:
Samuel Adams Brown Ale
Samuel Adams Scotch Ale
Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout
Or any Pale Ale
Margaritas would have also been good with this meal.
Enjoy! :)
