Crispy 'Fish' Tacos

Main
Banana blossoms entered the vegan cooking scene due to their flakey texture, which resembles flaked fish. Banana blossoms are neutral in taste and make a fun base to experiment with when it comes to flavour. In this recipe, they are covered in a crunchy coating and served with a sweet and spicy grilled pineapple salsa to make tacos that aim to impress.

Fantastic! This was such a delightful dish that felt really complex & interesting but was really straightforward to prepare. Such a treat!

With the mango swap, do you suggest I still grill it?

Hey Freya, we still recommend grilling it, but you can skip the grilling if preferred. Grilling mango helps bring out its sweetness and adds a smoky flavour. If you end up grilling it, just make sure to watch it closely, as mango can cook faster than pineapple 🙂

I loved this recipe! The salsa is MIND BLOWINGLY GOOD. I think I will need to make this for rice bowls too. The batter was good as I don't like fishy things, and it was mild due to only one sheet of nori. Only feedback is that the meal was lacking salt so I'd add salt and pepper to the batter next time, and also I had lots of milk left over. Thanks team!

Hey there, Charlotte, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe. It's a lovely idea to add more salt and pepper to taste if you think the tacos need it 🤗

I was gifted a can of banana blossoms and initially didn’t know what to do with them—so glad I found this recipe! The vegan “fish” is incredible: the crunchy coating, the soft texture inside, the flavors from the seaweed and tajín… The recipe was also surprisingly easy to make. Can’t wait to make this for vegan friends and impress them :)

They really hit the mark for us and were so much easier to make than I somehow anticipated. Since I didn’t have vegan sour cream, I used coconut yogurt as suggested by the very convenient “swap option”. I also used up all my fresh coriander for the salsa but felt that dried coriander worked fine in the sauce. Also used Cajun seasoning as another “swapping suggestion”.
Can’t wait to make them again also for guests!
