Masa-Battered Swordfish Tacos

At Este in Austin, TX—one of our Best New Restaurants of 2023—chef Fermín Nuñez uses a combination of beer and vodka to keep the masa and rice flour batter on his fried swordfish pieces ultralight and delightfully crisp. Topped with shredded cabbage and a simple salsa Mexicana, they make for a simple but elevated fish taco. Save the extra beer for drinking alongside.
