Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Start by prepping your fish. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut it into small strips, about 1-inch wide.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • On a separate plate, combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each fish strip first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally press it into the coconut mixture until well coated.
  • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Carefully add the fish strips in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Serve your crispy fish in taco shells with your favorite toppings.
