Really would like to get thirdeye's fish taco recipe,the picture were great.

And when he uses panko crumbs, do you dredge it in eggs or something?

Here ya go....

For starters, I make sort of a spicy cabbage slaw using yogurt or mayonnaise for the base. I will even jazz up deli slaw on occasion and it works just fine. I you have a favorite coleslaw, just use that. ( I don't like the real sweet slaw on tacos, but you might). The other condiments are chopped green onions, radish slices, cilantro and salsa. You might as well roast some peppers too, either for the tacos or to eat along with them. A lime wedge for squeezin’ is served on the side.

I’m looking for a crunchy texture on the fish to go with the crunch of the toppings. You can cook the fish in the oven, but I just like playing with my grill. Okay, basically, build a hot fire and let it stabilize. Shoot for about 400°, if you are a little high or low, that's fine. While the fire is getting ready, cover a metal tray or fish screen with foil (make sure it has sides so no oil runs off). When you are ready to cook, preheat the tray for at least 10 minutes. During this time, rinse off your fillets, season some flour with chili powder and salt, make an egg/water wash and put some panko (Japanese bread crumbs) onto some wax paper. Sprinkle the fish with flour, dip in the egg wash then coat with panko.

For cooking, add a little oil onto your preheated tray, (the spray can stuff works good) then add the fish. They should be checked for sticking in about 2 minutes and flipped in 2 more. Once they are 135° internal, they are done. The panko should have developed a golden color and will be very light and crunchy. Slice the fillets into pieces 2 fingers wide. Wrap all this in a warmed corn tortilla or a tortilla wrap (wheat ones are good too), give it a squeeze of lime and enjoy with a cold beer.

I'll add more onion than usual, cilantro, cumin and sometimes even a little garlic. You can add some fine diced jalapeno peppers too.
