Crispy Fish Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    peanut oil, for frying
    2 cups panko breadcrumbs
    3 eggs
    kosher salt
    fresh ground black pepper
    2 2 lbs red snapper fillets or 2 lbs other firm flesh white fish fillets
    8 corn tortillas
    1/2 head napa cabbage, shredded
    chili mayonnaise (see posted in my recipes)
    lime wedge, for garnish
Preparation
    To fry the fish: Fill a large heavy bottomed pot about 1/3 full of peanut oil. Heat to 375 degrees F.
    While the oil is heating, put the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow dish, season with salt and pepper, and beat them with 2 tablespoons of water.
    Cut the fish into 1-inch wide strips. Dip them into the egg, then coat them well with the breadcrumbs.
    Set aside and let them rest for 10 minutes.
    Cook the fish a few pieces at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
    Drain on paper towels.
    To make the tacos: Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat.
    Warm a corn tortilla in the pan until it softens, about 30 seconds.
    Place a fish strip on it, top with some of the shredded cabbage, and a big dollop of Chili Mayo.
    Squeeze on some lime juice, roll up, and eat!
