Instructions
 

  • To  make beer batter:  In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking  powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour  mixture (don’t worry about a few lumps).
  • To  make white sauce:  In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and  mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is  slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and  cayenne. 
  • Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Dust  fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until  crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas;  not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with  shredded cabbage, and white sauce.
