These fried fish tacos are one of our favorite tacos, these are fresh, flavorful, easy to prepare. You can make any time of the day. We never get enough of these fried fish tacos each we’ve made them. I used whiting fillets, but if you don’t like whiting you can use tilapia, cod, pollock fillets, or any firm fillet fillets of your choice. These fried fish tacos don’t involve dipping and coating, it requires just one dipping before frying, so instead all you need to do is to mix all these ingredients then dip before frying.
I added some serving options, so feel free to use any serving options of choice. You can combine Mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic/onion powder, cumin, lime, a pinch of hot sauce. if you’d like to try something new for your sauce.
