- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt + 1 Pinch (Divided)
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Corona (or other beer of choice)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Mayo
- 1 Lime (Juiced)
- 2 teaspoons Old bay
- Dash of Hot Sauce (Optional)
- Flour Tortillas
- 1/2 bag Coleslaw Mix

Mango Salsa

- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1 Fresh Jalapeno (Diced)
- 1 Lime (Juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the mango salsa: Combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, diced jalapeno, lime juice cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined and set in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Baja Sauce and Slaw: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, Old Bay Seasoning, and a dash of hot sauce (if using). Whisk until combined. Then, in a separate large bowl, add coleslaw and season with a pinch of salt. Add 3 tablespoons of the Baja Sauce and toss to combine and set aside. Reserve the remaining Baja sauce for serving.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cayenne. Then add in one egg and the beer and mix well, avoiding clumping.
- Cook The Flounder: In a CanCooker Jr, or equivalent, heat 1.5 inches of oil to 350-375°F.
- Dip fish into batter and allow excess batter to drip off. Carefully drop into hot oil. Fry fish, turning to brown both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from CanCoker and place on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with all fish.
- Place a small amount of slaw in each tortilla, followed by the fish, mango salsa, and a finishing drizzle of remaining Baja Sauce.
