Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup dark beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 lbs boned skinned firm , white-fleshed fish (such as pacific cod or tilapia)
vegetable oil
12 -16 corn tortillas, warmed
lime wedge
1 1/2 quarts finely shredded cabbage (about 10 oz.)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp hot chile, flakes
salt
2 tbsp canned chipotle chiles , rinse and discard seeds and veins
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup chopped onion

Directions:

Combine all of the slaw ingredients and set aside.
Make the tartar sauce: In a blender puree the chiles and remaining ingedients until smooth. Set aside.
Make the Fish Tacos: In a bowl, whisk beer, flour, and salt until well blended.
Rinse fish and pat dry; cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips.
Pour about 1 inch of oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan (with at least 2-in.-tall sides) over medium-high heat; bring oil to 360°. With a fork, dip each piece of fish into beer batter; lift out and let drain briefly. Slide fish into oil, a few pieces at a time, and cook until golden (adjust heat to maintain 360°), turning if necessary to brown on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per batch. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Keep warm in a 200° oven while you fry remaining fish.
To assemble each taco, stack two tortillas and top with a couple of pieces of fish, then a spoonful of cabbage and cilantro slaw. Serve with the chipotle tartar sauce to add to taste and lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
