Not only was this my first attempt at making a fish taco but also my first time eating one. Not sure I will ever want another traditional beef taco ever again. I watched a food show where they were showing some restaurants best dishes. Fish Tacos caught my attention. While they didn't give you the ingredients I got a pretty good idea of what went into the taco. They grilled their fish and I wanted a little crunch in mine. I tried my hand at it and my taco was a big hit! Hope you enjoy!

How To Make fried fish taco with chipotle aioli sauce

  • Step 1
    CHIPOTLE AIOLI SAUCE: Combine together in mini blender or use hand blender; set aside.
  • Step 2
    FISH: Combine flour, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper in a pan. Pour buttermilk in another pan. Combine panko, all-purpose seasoning and salt in another pan. Deep fry at 375 until browned nicely.
  • Step 3
