Chopped Fried-Fish Tacos (Tacos de Salpicón de Pescado)

These chopped fried fish tacos, or tacos de salpicón de pescado, offer a vibrant and refreshing twist on a Mexican classic. Unlike traditional battered fillets, the fish is lightly floured and fried until crisp before being flaked and tossed with crunchy white onions, fresh coriander, and a zingy lime dressing. This method ensures every bite is packed with texture and a bright, zesty flavour that cuts through the richness of the fried fish.

As a high-protein dinner option, this dish is both satisfying and incredibly simple to assemble for a midweek family meal or a casual weekend gathering. The combination of heat from the serrano chillies and the savoury depth of Worcestershire sauce makes these tacos stand out from the crowd. Serve them in warm corn tortillas with plenty of creamy avocado and a sharp green salsa for a truly authentic homemade feast.

Ingredients for Chopped Fried-Fish Tacos (Tacos de Salpicón de Pescado)

  • 450g skinless boneless cod, flounder, or tilapia fillets, cut into approximately 3-by-1/2-inch strips

  • 45ml freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste

  • 1 tesked kosher salt

  • Plain flour, for frying

  • Canola or vegetable oil, for frying

  • 1 cup finely diced white onions

  • 1 cup chopped coriander

  • 2 fresh serrano or jalapeño chillies, finely chopped (including seeds), plus more to taste

  • 25ml Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive or vegetable oil

  • Warm corn tortillas, lime wedges, avocado slices, and Fresh Green Salsa , for serving

Put the fish in a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and the salt, and toss well. Put the flour in another large bowl, add the fish, and toss very well to evenly coat the fish.

Pour 3 inches of canola oil into a Dutch oven or medium pot and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 191°C on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the oil, shake off a little flour from the fish, then add the fish to the oil and fry until the pieces are lightly golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel to drain.

When the fish is just cool enough to handle, put it in a large bowl and add the onions, coriander, chillies, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Toss and mix well with your hands or a spoon, breaking up the strips into small pieces as you do. Season to taste with more lime juice, chillies, and salt.

Serve alongside tortillas and lime wedges, topped with avocado slices and Fresh Green Salsa.
