Found this previous thread with a delicious looking recipe. I'm thinking I might make it for the girlfriend and roommates tonight.

I prefer to just fry, without a coating in a skillet in a light oil, like Canola or Peanut oil.
Cool a touch and break up a bit into some bit sized pieces. I put in a double corn tortilla, spritz of lime and some cilantro on top. I also like some green salsa on mine. I'm very west coast in my preferences on fish tacos, but heck, I'll eat em anyway I can get em.
To make the corn tortillas behave, quick fry them in some hot oil. Just heat some oil up till you can get a lil sizzle from a corn tortilla dipped in it. Then just lay the tortilla in it and let it heat for a few seconds, flip it, and let heat again. Drain on some paper towels or pat the oil off. They will not break apart so easily and will be a bit more pliable. I use two per taco. Yum.
My wife and I tried this recipe after I saw the original post and it has became a regular for us. Really good!Quote:

The second place serves fried catfish tacos. The crispier the fish the better the tacos. Each places serves them with a side of guac' and some cajun rice. I always add a good splash of hot sauce, but then again, I do that with everything.
Too make a long story short (too late), you can blacken or fry your fish to make tacos and either way will come out good.
Sounds like several others do what I thought I'd invented. I just fry them up, and break them into small pieces. Add lettuce and salsa in a tortilla and devour! I absolutely love them, and it's a great way to make a meal without sides.
they are good.. i agree with frying the fish first.. we do this with white bass all the time
