Crispy Fried-Fish Tacos With Hoisin Mayonnaise image

Found this a few years back in Food & Wine and it was so delicious! Only way I can get my husband and son who both hate fish to eat it, and they ask for seconds!

Time 1h

Yield 1 taco, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1 lb tilapia fillet, cut into 4-by-1-inch strips
2 large eggs, beaten
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
12 corn tortillas, warmed
green cabbage, shredded
lettuce leaf, shredded
cilantro
scallion, sliced

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the hoisin sauce, pickle relish and lemon juice.
  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and white pepper. Seal the bag and shake. Add the fish and shake to coat.
  • Put the eggs and panko in separate shallow bowls. Dip the fish in the egg and then in the panko. Transfer the fish to a wax paper-lined platter.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil to 350°. Add half of the fish and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain the fish on a paper towel-lined platter. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Serve the fish in the tortillas, passing the hoisin mayonnaise, cabbage, lettuce, cilantro and scallions for serving.
