Ultimate Fried Fish Tacos Recipe

By Fat Cat Gourmet
Cook time: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. white fish fillet (like pollock, basa, flounder, cod, haddock or similar) or shrimp
  • 1 package of Louisiana Fish Fry or similar (i.e. available in most supermarkets)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 8-10 flour tortillas, 8-10 inches in diameter
  • 1 bottle Fat Cat Florida Sauce Citrus-Datil Pepper Blend
  • 15-20 cherry tomatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch rings
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or crema
  • 1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/8-inch strips
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce

Instructions

  • Heat oil in fry pan over medium heat until temperature reaches 350F or oil sizzles well after dropping a little fry mix into it
  • Cut the fish fillets into nuggets about an inch and half in length and width, give or take.
  • Dredge in fish fry, shaking off excess, and fry in oil until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Drain on paper towels when done. Keep cooked fish warm on a plate in an oven set to 160F until ready for use.
  • Warm tortillas in microwave for 20 seconds or until flexible and then spread out two over a plate.
  • Top tortillas with cabbage/lettuce, set 2-3 pieces of fried fish on top, then include one slice of avocado and top with some tomato, onion, cilantro.
  • Finish with a drizzle of sour creme or crema and top with 1-2 tablespoons of Fat Cat Florida Sauce Citrus Datil Blend.

Notes

Fry fish in batches so as not to over-crowd the pan and ensure crispy end texture.

Makes 8-10 tacos in all, serves 4.
