Tex Wasabi's Koi Fish Tacos
Recipe courtesy Guy Fieri

Ingredients
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon tequila
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces cod or firm white fish, cut in 1-inch pieces
16 (8-inch) corn tortillas
Canola oil
4 ounces tempura flour
8 ounces prepared tempura batter made with cold water
6 ounces panko bread crumbs

1 cup shredded white cabbage
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion

Instructions
In medium bowl, combine lime juice, tequila, cumin,
salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Add the fish and toss to coat. Marinate for 10
minutes.

Warm tortillas on grill or pan. Cover with a towel to keep warm.

In a medium Dutch oven, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F.

Remove fish from marinade, shake off excess, dredge in tempura flour, and dunk in
cold tempura mixed batter. Roll in panko bread crumbs, pressing panko onto fish.
One by one add fish to oil, making sure to keep the fish pieces separated. Fry for
4 to 5 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Mix cabbage, cilantro and onion. Stack 2 tortillas; place 1/8th of fish on top of
each, and top with cabbage mixture, Pico de Gallo, and Tequila Lime Aioli. Serve
immediately.
