Fried Oyster Tacos

Fried Oyster Tacos

Fried Oyster Tacos. New year new tacos. These fried oyster tacos are super unique and definitely delicious. They’re breaded in a spicy breadcrumb mixture and paired with cole slaw, lime crema, and guac….and a marg of course. Because it’s Friday and we need cocktails ya know ?!

I feel like we always start the new year off with some kind of taco. And since we missed the first taco Tuesday of the year…why not start a taco Friday trend?! And why not start the trend with a brand new kind of taco?!

Tonight we are celebrating the weekend with fried oyster tacos. A crunchy on the inside soft shell taco. Filled with Cole slaw and drizzled with Lime Crema. It’s actually a pretty simple taco, but it’s so different and so good. And of course don’t forget to pair it with some guac, chips, and a marg…the margs are essentially.

I was actually so excited to be having margs for the first time since basically the summer. They are pretty much my spring/summer drink, so it’s always a treat to have them every once in a while in the winter.

We are also supposed to do a tequila night one weekend soon with my uncles family. So stay tuned for some more Friday taco nights this year ;))) !!
