  Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
      
 You have never let me down finding recipes, right not I am in need of 
 a fish taco recipe.  My daughter has just returned from San Diego and 
 has been raving about them.  Thank you so much.

Hi Sandy,

  *Directions +++* 
  Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black 
  ground pepper. Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until 
  well blended. Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or 
  water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely 
  dry before dipping into batter. 
  Prepare salsa; reserve. 
  Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375F. Place fish 
  in a single layer--do not let pieces touch each other. Cook fish until 
  batter is crispy and golden brown. 
  Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet or Mexican comal until they are 
  soft and hot. 
  To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa 
  and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to 
  serve.
