Amazingly my kids actually like fish, which is really a good thing. We try to eat fish at least once a week to get the healthy fats in them. We try to find wild caught, as many fish farms feed their fish corn and other grains which could create a problem for those who are gluten free. They also dump a lot of antibiotics and growth hormones in the water to help keep diseases down created by the small living space and to grow them faster to make more money. Since I created this recipe, I have found it very difficult to find wild caught Talapia, so I use it on any wild caught fish we can find at the market. It is very simple but has tremendous flavor.
1 1/2 C. Coconut flour
1/2 C. Coconut, shredded
1 egg
8-16 oz. Cocnut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Fish Fillets
Coconut oil for frying
In a large bowl or flat dish, mix coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt and pepper. In another bowl, mix coconut milk (start with 8oz and add more as needed) and the egg. Heat oil in a frying pan. If you like a thicker coating, dredge the fish in the egg mixture then in the flour mixture, let then sit a few minutes and repeat the dredging. For a lighter coating just dredge once. Place the fish in the heated oil and fry until golden brown. Serve immediately. An excellent accompaniment would be coconut jasmin rice.

I think I've seen wild Talapia at Trader Joe's - maybe you can one of those near by?
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
