In a large mixing bowl, generously salt, halibut and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare batter for fish: In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cayenne, salt, egg, and beer. Stir together until well mixed and set aside at room temperature.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, jalapeño, and cilantro; refrigerate until ready to serve
In a large pot, preheat oil to 350°. Dip fish into batter and allow excess batter to drip off before adding to oil. Fry fish, flipping to ensure it’s evenly browned, 4 to 5 minutes, then place on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
