Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 pounds halibut, cut into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, whisked
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 ripe but firm pineapple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and diced
Pinch of sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 lime, juiced
16 corn tortillas
Shredded cabbage, for serving

Steps:

  • For the fish sticks: Heat about an inch of oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 360 degrees F.
  • Heavily sprinkle the fish sticks on both sides with salt and pepper. Form an assembly line with the flour, whisked eggs and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dredge the fish sticks first in the flour, making sure to remove any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the panko.
  • Fry the fish until golden in color, about 3 minutes per side. Set on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
  • For the grilled pineapple salsa: Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Put the pineapple slices on the grill and cook until tender and grill marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop. Put the pineapple in a medium bowl and stir in the cilantro, lime juice and jalapenos. Season the salsa with sugar, salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • For the ancho crema: Add the sour cream, ancho chile powder, lime juice and 1 tablespoon of water to a bowl. Whisk together until combined. If necessary, thin the mixture out with more water until it is a thin, drizzling consistency.
  • For serving: Heat the corn tortillas directly on a gas burner on medium-high heat, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Evenly distribute the fish sticks among the warmed tortillas. Garnish with cabbage and grilled pineapple salsa, then drizzle the ancho crema on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the best fish sticks. Look for fish sticks made with high-quality, sustainable fish. Avoid fish sticks that contain fillers or artificial ingredients.
  • Cook the fish sticks according to the package directions. This will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
  • Use a variety of toppings. The great thing about fish stick tacos is that you can top them with whatever you like. Some popular options include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Get creative with your tacos. You can also add other ingredients to your tacos, such as grilled vegetables, black beans, or rice. Experiment and find what you like best.

Conclusion:

Fish stick tacos are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. They are also a great way to use up leftover fish sticks. So next time you have a craving for tacos, give fish stick tacos a try. You won't be disappointed.
