For extra crispy fish, double-dip the fish in the batter before frying. If you don't have dark beer, you can substitute with club soda or sparkling water for a lighter batter. Adjust the amount of lime juice in the white sauce to your liking. Some people prefer it tangier. Feel free to add other toppings such as avocado, pickled onions, or a spicy salsa.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMarinate the Onions: Place the sliced onion in a resealable plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, basil, and oregano. Squeeze in the juice from 1 1/2 limes. Add enough water to help distribute the marinade evenly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. (8+ hours)
02
StepPrepare the White Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and the juice of 1 lime. Mix well, adding more lime juice as needed to achieve a runny consistency. Set aside. Cut the remaining limes into wedges for serving. (5 minutes)
03
StepHeat the Oil: In a deep pot, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) over medium heat. Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (10 minutes)
04
StepWarm the Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Place the corn tortillas in the oven to keep them warm while you fry the fish. (5 minutes)
05
StepFry the Fish: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, beer, and egg until the mixture resembles pancake batter. Dip 3 to 4 pieces of fish into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the fried fish and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining fish. (20-30 minutes)
06
StepAssemble the Tacos: Place the fried fish on the warmed tortillas. Top with the marinated onions, white sauce, lime wedges, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo salsa, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
