The Easiest Fried Fish Tacos Ever

Posted by webaggression on

I was watching a cooking show on TasteMade. Chef Megan Mitchell was making a fajita bar. I was mildly shocked when she used frozen Gorton’s® Beer Battered Fish Fillets for her “fried fish”. Once I realized they were a sponsor, it made a little more sense.

I got to thinking about it and the fish did look pretty good. Instead of fajitas I decided to go with fried fish tacos. It turned out very well and we have made these several times. The fish is quite good and in 20 minutes you are ready to go. No hot oil, no mess.

I made a few sauce because I wasn’t sure how good the fish would be and I really like both of them.
