Directions

1. Battered fish:
2. MIx flour, Old bay seasoning,Mexican oregano, salt,onion powder,chipotle, and garlic together, pour beer in a separate container and let bubbles subside. Add egg and Beer to dry mixture. If batter seems too dry add a little more beer until the consistency is that of pancake batter. Dip each strip of fish in batter and deep fry for about 90 sec to 2 min till the batter is a golden brown color. Drain on paper towels.
3. Taco filling:
4. Thinly slice the cabbage into a slaw type cut and adding the radishes and jalapenos. Add vinegar and set aside Slice avocados and set aside and use as an optional item.
5. Sauce:
6. Combine the mayonnaise, crema, 1 tsp Chipotle, garlic, and the juice of ½ lime in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning. The chipotle will give this sauce an excellent smoky flavor. When adding start with a ½ tsp and taste. If too hot, add a little bit more mayonnaise and Crema. If not hot enough add a ¼ tsp more and test again. If still not hot enough add the remaining ¼ tsp of chipotle. Cut the remaining 2½ limes into wedges and set aside.
