• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• 1 pound shark fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut shark into strips 3/4 inch thick and 3 inches long. Mix canola oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and Cajun style spice mix in a plastic container. Place shark strips in container, and marinate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Warm tortillas in a microwave to make them pliable.

Step 3

Drain marinade, and pat shark dry with paper towels. Place a strip of shark at one end of a tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep fryer. Submerge taquitos in hot oil. Fry until golden brown, no more than 3 or 4 minutes each. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Place taquitos in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all twelve. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
