Baja Fish Tacos Ensenada Style

Baja Fish Tacos Ensenada Style

These beer-battered fish tacos are served just how we remember them from childhood, with the tangy crema, vinegary jalapeños and amazing tortillas it will immediately transport you to the magical beaches of my dearest Baja.

For the recipe you can use any type of white flaky fish, cod stands up well to frying but halibut is our favorite. You can also try it with shrimp! For vegetarians you can also replace this with banana blossom or jackfruit which are known to be the best options for replacing fish in this occasion.

  • 2 cups plain flour

  • 1 tablespoon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
