Beer Battered Fish Tacos

Washed in beer and battered in our Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fish Fry, then topped with a spicy jalapeño sauce, these beer battered fish tacos are to die for.

Jalapeño Sauce

Ingredients:

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree until the sauce has reached a consistency that is easy to drizzle. You may add more oil or water if needed to reach desired consistency

Fish Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ pound firm fish, (ex. black drum, cod, mahi-mahi)
  • 12oz Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fish Fry
  • 12oz light beer
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • vegetable oil
  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • feta cheese
  • cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Using a paper towel, pat fish fillets dry, then cut fillets into 2 to 3-inch pieces and set aside. In a bowl, combine beer and egg, making sure to mix well. In another bowl, add Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fish Fry and set aside.

Add enough oil to the frying pan so that it’s about ½ inch deep. Heat oil over medium heat until a pinch of fish fry sizzles across the top.

Dip each piece of fish into the egg wash, then in the fish fry batter, back into the egg wash and once more in the fish fry batter. Carefully transfer each piece into the oil and cook for approximately 8 minutes or until golden brown, making sure to turn fish a few times during frying. Transfer cooked pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to help drain excess oil.

In a small skillet, warm tortillas over medium heat. Build tacos by adding a few pieces of fish, feta cheese, jalapeño sauce and top with cilantro. Serve and enjoy!

Fried Catfish:

Directions:

For the sauce:

In a 12” skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onions, peppers and garlic until wilted. Add the flour and stir until a blond roux is achieved, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar, basil, thyme and Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. Add the milk and wine and cook over medium heat until the milk thickens, stirring constantly. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and fully incorporates into the sauce. Add the crawfish tails and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes.

 For the catfish:

Sprinkle the catfish filets with Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Dip the catfish filets in the milk/egg mixture and then coat with the Slap Ya Mama Fish Fry. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet. Fry the catfish until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

Plate the catfish, spoon the Au Gratin Sauce over the filet and sprinkle a few green onions over the top to finish it off.  Enjoy!
