Twenty weeks in to my pregnancy and I can officially say that cravings are all over the map. Some days the little guy wants candy, while others its fruit, spicy foods and then occasionally the strong cravings for seafood. The cravings for seafood usually hit out of nowhere and we typically don’t have fresh fish on hand at home.

This time I was able to prepare for the craving ahead of time by making these Baked Crunchy Fish Tacos with the use of cod. I had bought some cod at our local store and was just waiting patiently for the craving to settle in. One day later I found myself coating the fish with crushed Honeycrumb cereal (yes, it totally works) with some spices and topping them all off with some freshly sliced jalapeno slices. The spicy craving must have worked its way in as well.

Now I’m a sucker for fish tacos: grilled or fried, but this time I took a different approach by baking them in the oven. I’ve used chips as coating for fish before but cereal was a first for me. I highly recommend doing a double batter to ensure the coating stays on during the baking process. These tacos also worked well with cabbage and a nice cilantro sauce drizzled over the top.
