FISH TACOS WITH HOMEMADE TARTARE

Pickled Onions:

• Place the onions into small glass jar.
• In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, honey and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then carefully pour the mixture into the jar over the onions.
• Set aside and let the pickled onions cool to room temperature.

Salsa:

• Combine corn off the cob, quartered tomatoes, coriander and lime juice in a small bowl, set aside

Tartare sauce:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well, set aside

Beer Battered Fish:

• Combine flour and beer together in a medium sized bowl, whisk until smooth and allow to rest in the fridge for at least 30mins.
• Meanwhile, cut fish fillets into batons (~7cm x3cm). Pat dry.
• Place rice flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl, set aside  
• Heat 5cm oil in a deep sided frying pan over medium high heat (190C)
• While oil is heating, coat the fish in rice flour and shake off excess.
• Remove batter from fridge and dunk a piece of fish in the batter `(let the excess drip off very briefly.)
• Fry for 3 minutes: Carefully lower battered fish into the oil, one piece at a time. Don’t crowd the pan and fry in batches. Fry for 3 minutes, flipping after about 2 minutes, until deep golden.
• Drain on paper towels, sprinkle immediately with flakey sea salt. Repeat with remaining fish.
• Serve hot fish immediately alongside warmed tacos, pickled onions, salsa, tartare sauce, lettuce, avocado, cabbage, coriander and lime.
• To assemble: Start with pieces of fish then add remaining ingredients finishing with a generous dallop of tartare sauce and a squeeze of lime juice
