Fish MEH! Tacos YEAH!! fish+tacos= some hipster bullshit that should never been put together EVER! you get an automatic F. To the op....the key is the sauce and the fine shred of the cabbage In the land of trout and salmon a decent fillet of a hearty white fleshed fish is kind of rare, that being said some of the nicer pieces of fish I got when I caught them in AK and the land of bags of failmilk. I still say fish tacos other than chicky snack pink tacos are fail. |

Use good white fish and good corn tortillas. Heat up your tortillas on a skillet and double them up when you make the taco. I love grilled and fried fish tacos. |

Fish tacos are wonderful. In fact, anything Mexican and fish is pretty damn good. The seafood fajitas at my local Mexican restaurant are fantastic.
The sauce seems to be the key to good fish tacos. I haven't figured it out. I'd love to see some recipes. In other words, this is a tag. |

Add some lime zest, minced cilantro, minced dill, minced hot peppers of your choice, and a little cumin. |

Fry up some white fish fillets......mmmmmm |
| This reminds me of what a friend of mine said when we went fishing on a pier at Rockport Texas and we walked past a young mexican boy who had caught a small fish.: "Mommy , Mommy I caught a little fish can I take it home and put it in a taco. ?" Probably just my warped sense of humor but dam it was funny. For some reason I think anything with small bones has no place inside a taco. |

To the op....the key is the sauce and the fine shred of the cabbage Key is the sauce, and down in Mexico sauces are family based and secret. If I gave out my wife's family sauce recipe, her and/or her 6 sisters will come after me with machetes. My local mexican restaraunt makes incredible authentic mexican tacos. They serve them with two sauces, one is red and one is a light-green. They call the green one jalapeno sauce. The only way I can describe it is to say it's like pureed jalapenos mixed with a dairy product. Does this sound right? I could eat the stuff with a spoon if it wasn't so hot.

One of the best fish tacos that I've ever had was around 1/3 the way down the Baja Peninsula. We saw the local fisherman just come in with 16 fresh halibut. They cleaned them and turned them into fish tacos for lunch and dinner that day. These tacos just melted in your mouth.
Fish tacos are pretty simple to make; Buy some fresh white fish fillets and cut into 1" strips = halibut, ocean bass, rock cod etc. Dip them in some batter and heat up a pan of hot vegatable oil for deep frying Drop them in for a minute +, then put them on some paper towels to soak up the extra oil Place the fish on a couple corn tortillas, add some salsa and maybe some shredded cabbage and eat.

You can catch Halibut that far south? I've fished off San Fran and the water was plenty cold for it but Baja is a good ways down. I had some real good lobster and shrimp in Ensenada. Didn't catch much but small black bass in the Sea of Cortez, up by San Felipe. I really want to get to Baja and go for big Tuna. I prefer cod in my fish tacos. Mahi is great but expensive for a cheap dish. |

We do 'em the easy way-
GRILL a nice tuna steak (get it good and smoky!). Dice it up- you want nice sized chunks. Fill pre-made taco shells with the fish - squeeze fresh lime, and top with shredded cheese, then crack some fresh black pepper and a bit of granulated garlic (both to your taste). Broil until cheese is bubbly, then top the tacos with chopped onion, diced tomato and shredded lettuce. Serve with your favorite salsa, more limes or lemmons, and sour cream. Side of re-fried beans, favorite beer, and you're set! |

Man, sometimes the stupid runs really deep here. I wonder how many of the people dismissing fish tacos have ever tried them. When I first clicked on the thread I was thinking 
And I like both fish and tacos. Hey, po-boys are great. What difference does it make what you wrap something tasty in? Home made, probably pretty good. Taco Bell.............. still have to go with a

Excuse me thanks for the attack on me but again fish+taco is shit. Not everyone likes a. fish or b. mexican and the combo of the two let alone the vulgar smell of both together is like burnt shit. Enjoy your crap wrapped in a corn chip. |

I like the fish tacos at the local burrito joint and have tried to replicate the sauce multiple times. After trying various food network and online recipes and searching for pre-made stuff for a year or so, we saw this in the mayo aisle and it was dead on. Cheap and easy, too.
