Batter Fried Haddock Fish Tacos image

It's an easy and light recipe and great for anytime of the year. I think that it makes a fall/winter day festive and a great spring/summer season starter. The fish is fresh and inviting and the ingredients are just perfect. I'm still a novice in Mexican cuisine, but I am hoping that I did this recipe some justice!

Steps:

  • 4. BATTER FRIED HADDOCK AND TORTILLAS: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 5. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place in the oven until soft and pliant, about 12 minutes. Remove and keep wrapped until ready to use.
  • 6. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F over high heat.
  • 7. In a large bowl, beat the egg with the milk and water. Add the flour, and baking powder, and whisk to make a thin batter.

I thought the fish tacos were just okay. The batter was a bit too thick and the fish was a bit dry.

These fish tacos are a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some cooked haddock in the fridge and these tacos were the perfect way to use it up.
