• Tips

  1. Fresh Fish: Use the freshest tilapia you can find for the best flavor and texture. If possible, buy it from a trusted fishmonger. 
  
  2. Seasoning: Don't be afraid to experiment with additional seasonings for the fish batter. A pinch of paprika, garlic powder can add extra depth of flavor. 
  
  3. Crispy Coating: For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the fish fillets. After the first coating of batter, let them rest for a minute, then dip them again before frying. 
  
  4. Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fish. If the oil is too cool, the batter will absorb more oil and become greasy. A good test is to drop a small bit of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready. 
  
  5. Serving: Serve the tacos immediately after assembling to keep the fish crispy. You can also offer additional toppings like sliced radishes, pickled onions, or a squeeze of fresh lime.
