Fish Tacos Recipe


Not your everyday taco.


My sister Patty came to town from the Land of Liquid Sunshine, Oregon. She brought along a fresh catch of perch fillets. It was my job to come up with a few ways to prepare 'em.

I made some yummy fish sandwiches, an Asian Perch Salad, and a batch of these excellent Fish Tacos.

Don't know where to find perch for this recipe? Well, you can use cod or any firm, white fish.

Watch me cook!
Here I am finishing off a batch of Fish Tacos.

What You'll Need :

  • 8 oz of small perch fillets
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 4 dried red chiles
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 5 dashes cayenne
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 oz cabbage shredded
  • 2 oz sour cream
  • dash paprika
  • 4 small flour tortilla
  • 1 medium tomato diced small
  • 3 green onions diced small

What To Do

  • Shred the cabbage then add to it the sour cream and paprika. Set aside.
  • Combine flour with cayenne, salt and pepper. Put this mixture on a small plate - this will serve as the breading.
  • Pour beer into small bowl.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat.
  • Add oil, garlic, peppers.
  • Dunk your perch into the beer then coat with flour mixture and place in skillet.
  • Repeat until your pan is full. Turn after about 1 min. (depending on size of fish pieces) Cook for another minute, remove, and remove drain oil. Assemble tacos with tortilla, slaw, fish, tomatoes, and onions.
