Deets
1. For the cabbage slaw, mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
2. For the chipotle crema, blend all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil in a 10 to 12-inch dutch oven or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, until oil is 350°F.
4. Rinse fish in cold water, pat dry and slice into 1-inch wide strips. In a medium bowl, whisk together white flour, rice flour, salt, and pale ale until well blended.
5. Dip fish into batter and place gently into hot oil. Fry fish in batches, turning occasionally to brown on all sides, adjusting heat to maintain 350°F. Remove fish when golden brown, about 2-4 minutes, with a slotted spoon. Keep warm on a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
6. Heat corn tortillas and assemble tacos.
7. Put tacos directly into mouth-hole, interspersed with swigs of Dale’s Pale Ale.
