Fish Taco Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 raw fish filets
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 1 & 1/2 cups of Bread crumbs (any kind, but Panka bread crumbs are recommended)
- Shredded lettuce
- Vegetable oil
- 4 hard taco shells
- Tabasco sauce (optional)
chunky salsa (see recipe below)
guacamole (see recipe below)
DIRECTIONS:
- Put some oil in a skillet, so the oil is about an inch deep.
- Turn heat to medium-high.
- Rinse fish filets and place them on paper towels.
- Coat a clean, dry dinner plate with a layer of flour.
- Fill a shallow dish with bread crumbs.
- Beat the egg in a shallow dish.
- Coat fish filets lightly with flour. Pat them to remove excess flour.
- One by one, coat each fish filet in the beaten egg. Hold each filet over the egg dish until excess egg drips off.
- Place each fish filet in the bread crumbs, cover it with crumbs, and press down gently. Pat the filet in your hands to remove excess bread crumbs.
- Place fish filets in heated oil and cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
- Remove fish filets from the oil with a spatula and place them on dry paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Place each cooked fish filet in a hard taco shell.
- Top with shredded lettuce, salsa, and guacamole.
- Add a dash of Tabasco sauce if desired.
