Pflum's pfish tacos

Pfew young ladies know their way around a pfish taco like our good pfriend Pfraulein Pflum. Today we pfilch her amazing recipe for incredibly pfluffy beer battered-cod tacos:

White Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Fish Tacos:

24 ounces boneless cod, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage

Pflum's pfish tacos

For the sauce:
Mix all ingredients together and set aside. Preheat a fryer or a deep pot halfway filled with oil to 375 degrees F. Mix 1 of the packages of batter, but only use 1/2 the required amount of water and use beer for the remaining amount instead. Add the beer until the batter becomes almost like a heavy cream consistency.

Using the other package of batter add salt and garlic powder, coat cod pieces with the dry mix, then dip into prepared batter. Deep-fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Place fried cod pieces on warmed corn tortillas, add white sauce to fish, a little shredded cabbage and a squeeze of lime, to taste.
