Tips:
- For a crispy fish taco, make sure the fish is coated in a thin layer of cornstarch before frying.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil for frying, such as canola or vegetable oil.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
- Use a variety of toppings on your fish tacos. This could include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Serve the fish tacos immediately with lime wedges.
