2. Sprinkle the tilapia with salt and pepper to season.
3. Measure out a ¼ of mayo. Brush a thin layer on the tilapia.
4. Remove the pistachios from their shells. Crush by hand or in a blender until powdered.
5. Press the tilapia to the pistachio mixture coating it well.
6. Place about 2 tablespoons of oil into a frying pan. Fry the fish on each side for 3-4 minutes each. Remove from heat when cooked through and allow to set on a paper towel to cool.
To make your spicy mayo, add a tablespoon of hot sauce to the remaining mayo. Stir well. Add more or less hot sauce depending on your preferences.
To serve, just sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if you wish and you are ready to dine! Dip your fish into spicy may for some extra zing.
