    Coat the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated cod fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the taco shells as per package instructions. Place pieces of crispy cod into each taco shell and top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cabbage, salsa, and avocado.
