To be honest with you, I’m not a big fan of fish but if it’s white fish and breaded I LOVE it. My usual go to is fish tacos. I love the crispy cabbage and the yummy pink sauce with the crispy fish. However, when I was in Austin, TX with my husband this summer we stopped at one of the amazing food trucks and I got the worlds largest and yummiest Po’boy!!! It was so large I had to eat it with a knife and fork. I was a happy camper!!! I decided to take fish tacos and turn it into a po’boy and I wasn’t disappointed. I mean can you really go wrong taking two things that you love and making them one? Well, I guess you could but so far I’ve been lucky. 🙂

I love tilapia. I’ve never thought to fry it in coconut oil. What does that do to the flavour? I’m going to have to try it. Thanks for the recipe! I’m always looking for something new to tantalize my brood 🙂

Thanks Amanda! The coconut oil doesn’t change the flavor but it is supposed to be a healthy cooking oil. I have fried it in both olive oil and coconut oil and didn’t notice and change in flavor. If you try this let me know what you think. 🙂
