Method

Preparing the Fish

1

Marinate the Fish

In a bowl, combine the white fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the fish evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2

Prepare the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cold water until smooth and slightly thick. This will be your batter for frying the fish.

Frying the Fish

3

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

4

Fry the Fish

Dip each marinated fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Tacos

5

Warm the Tortillas

In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

6

Build Your Taco

Place a crispy piece of fried fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and drizzle with hot sauce to taste.

Serving

7

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately while the fish is still hot and crispy. Enjoy your delicious Taco de Pescado Capeado!
