Recipe by Simon Walden @thetradiebbq
Fill a cast iron skillet 2/3 of the way with canola oil and heat to 350°F/176°C.
Slice up all the veg for the pickle and add to a medium-sized bowl. Pour over the red wine vinegar, and stir to coat all the veg. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Make up the beer batter mix following the packet instructions and add a Tbsp of Everything Bagel seasoning. Whisk to combine.
Pat the fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the batter and coat well before slowly adding to the hot oil for 4 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove the fish from the oil onto a paper towel and season with salt while still hot.
Build your taco:
In a hot, dry pan, toast the tortillas for 10-15 seconds aside until soft. Add a squirt of aioli to the tortilla, followed by the pickled veg. Top the pickle with the crispy fish and a drizzle of sriracha mayo. Top with some micro greens and a good squeeze of lime.
Enjoy!
