Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound shark fillets
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cut shark into strips 3/4 inch thick and 3 inches long. Mix canola oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and Cajun style spice mix in a plastic container. Place shark strips in container, and marinate for 1 hour.
  • Warm tortillas in a microwave to make them pliable.
  • Drain marinade, and pat shark dry with paper towels. Place a strip of shark at one end of a tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer. Submerge taquitos in hot oil. Fry until golden brown, no more than 3 or 4 minutes each. Drain on paper towels.
  • Place taquitos in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all twelve. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
