Beer Batter Fish Tacos With Mango Salsa

We love Fish Tacos. We have cooked the fish several different ways and have used different kinds of fish. This time we used wild Icelandic Cod and chose to fry it in Beer Batter. To augment the delicious flavor of the cod, we chose to bed it in shredded cabbage and cover it with Mango Salsa. Terrific flavor medley.
