Cooking Tips

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fish to ensure a crispy crust.
• You can use any white fish for this recipe, such as cod, tilapia, or halibut.
• Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Add sliced avocado, pickled onions, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the fish in the oven instead of frying.

Storage and Serving

• These tacos are best served immediately while the fish is still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store the fish and toppings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat the fish, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
• When ready to serve, assemble the tacos with fresh toppings and enjoy!
