For replacement of the beer in the fish batter, take 1 cup chicken broth and mix it with 1 teaspoon yeast. Let sit on the counter at room temperature for a few hours or until ready to make the batter.

Before preparing the fish batter make the white sauce as listed below.

White Sauce:
1/2 olive oil mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Juice of 1 lime
1 Jalepeno pepper, minced
1 tsp minced capers
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients together.

Fish Batter
In a large bowl mix the following:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp guar gum (thickener)
1 cup fermented chicken broth
1 egg


Cut up 1 pound of fresh cod fillets into 1-2 inch portions. Place 1 cup coconut oil in a med sized saute pan. Warm the oil on med-high heat. Dip fish in the fish batter and fry until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Lightly oil a separate pan with coconut oil and warm the corn tortillas until nice and soft.

To serve, place fish in corn tortilla topped with shredded cabbage and white sauce.
