I love serving these Fried Fish Tacos for Taco Tuesday. They’re easy and simply delicious!

Yes, our family loves Taco Tuesday! It’s the one day you don’t have to ask yourself what’s for dinner.

I especially love how Pace® is America’s Favorite Salsa for Tacos. Since Tuesdays are for Tacos. Tacos are for Pace®.

This cuts times from having to make homemade salsa without cutting back on the bold kick of flavor that Pace® definitely doesn’t lack!

And guess what? All Pace® products can be found at your local Walmart. Or you can just hover over the photo below to start shopping for your Pace® Taco Night!

FRIED FISH TACOS RECIPE:

This recipe starts with cod that is seasoned and fried until crispy.  Then topped with coleslaw, tartar sauce, and Pace® Chunky Salsa Medium.

FRIED FISH TACOS INGREDIENTS:

• Fried Fish:  I recommend a good firm white fish. For this recipe, cod was used.

• Coleslaw:  A coleslaw mix tossed in a mayo-based dressing makes this coleslaw quick and easy to whip up.

• Tartar Sauce: A creamy tarter sauce is whipped up using pantry ingredients to drizzle on as a topping for the fried fish tacos.

• Pace® Chunky Salsa Medium– This salsa tops the Fried Fish Taco adding a bold kick of flavor to this recipe. Highly recommended!

• Street Style Tortillas: These are our preference but you can use whatever your family enjoys.

HOW TO MAKE FRIED FISH TACOS:

1. Prep the coleslaw: Mix the sauce ingredients then fold it with the coleslaw mix.

2. Prep the tartar sauce: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Fry the fish. Heat oil in a skillet to 360°In a bowl, mix flour, seasonings, and club soda together. Season fish evenly with salt and pepper. Cut fish into strips. Dredge strips in batter then fry. Fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown.

4. Assemble the tacos.  Fill a tortilla with a few tablespoons of slaw, followed by the fish , then Pace® Chunky Salsa Medium and drizzle tarter sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

OTHER TOPPINGS FOR FRIED FISH TACOS:

• Pace® Medium Picante Sauce

• Diced Red Onions

• Shredded lettuce

• Guacamole 

• Cilantro

WHAT TO SERVE WITH FRIED FISH TACOS:

Sometimes for dinner, we just have fish tacos and consider that a meal. When you have a lot of toppings it makes each taco more filling. When I do serve sides I usually make yellow rice. The boys love rice!
