Ingredients

8 5 1/2-inch extra-thin corn tortillas, or prepared tostada shells
Vegetable oil for frying
1 pound orange roughy, red snapper or other fish fillet
1 1/4 cups Key lime juice, or 1 cup lime juice and 1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 heaping tablespoons cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, diced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

To make tostada shells, lay tortillas in a single layer on a counter and cover with a dry towel for about 30 minutes. Heat oil to 1-inch depth in a large skillet to 380 degrees. Fry one at a time until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
Cut fish into half-inch dice. Marinate in lime juice and salt to cover for 1 to 6 hours. Drain fish, mix with remaining ingredients and serve on the crisped tortillas with lime wedges, or use as a dip with tortilla chips.
