Once oil is ready, take one of the fillets, thoroughly coat both sides with the bread crumbs. Place in the oil and cook til each side is brown (~2-3 minutes/side). Place on sheets of paper towel to drain away more of the oil. Lightly season the top side of fish with you salt or creole seasoning. While frying up the rest of your fillets, chop up all of your accouterments. When everything is ready, microwave your tortillas for about 30 seconds on high, completely covered in paper towel or a clean dishtowel. Make a taco building buffet: add your fish, a little queso, your veggies, a pinch of cilantro, and then salsa and/or guac. Use the lime wedges to give your taco a little extra kick of citrus!

Food Joke

Directions Shlomo goes to see his psychiatrist. "Doctor, my wife Fay is being unfaithful to me. Every night, she goes to Palwin’s Wine Bar and picks up a man. She sleeps with anybody who asks her to. I`m going crazy with worry. What on earth should I do?" Relax," says the Doctor, "take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm down. Now, first of all tell me exactly where Palwin’s Wine Bar is."
