crunchy fish tacos

Crunchy Fish Tacos

May 7, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

What makes this fish taco different than the rest? This Panko coated cod is cut into cubes and you know what that means? More surface area for crunchiness! Topped with sweet and spicy mango salsa and served over creamy chipotle slaw in a soft tortilla.

It’s a fact, cubes = more surface area and I L-O-V-E Crunch! Plus smaller pieces make for easier and quicker time in the fryer. It’s a win win all around. There like little morsels or happiness. Topped with fresh mango salsa that delivers a sweetness with a little heat and round it all off with creamy, smokey chipotle slaw. I’d say that’s a well rounded bite.

This recipe is part of many Pacific Northwest fusion recipes here on the blog. Make sure you check out all of them and comment when you do!
