I enjoy a good fish taco. I like mine being crazy hot, so I blacken my fish with my home grown cayenne peppers that I dried and then use this sauce with the Sriracha in it.

I like fish tacos if the outside of the fish is crunchy but the inside is still moist.

We do both blackened and fried, usually with perch. avocado, cilantro, lime crema, and a little Cotija. Mmmm
Still working on the prefect batter.

Fish Tacos are a regular around here. We make a wicked cream sauce with way too much garlic.

We almost always do breaded and fried cod

I won't eat a fish taco without a little shredded cabbage and cilantro

 :yeah: This. Need that cabbage.

I prefer mine with cabbage salsa. Corn tortillas are a must too!
 Here's my recipe:

1/2 head of green cabbage chopped
1/4 onion diced
3-5 jalapeno or serano peppers diced
1-2 bunches of cilantro diced
1 lime squeezed
1-2 tomatoes diced for a little bit of color and taste
Salt to taste (usually about 1.5 teaspoons)

It's a quick salsa too make and is way cheaper than Tina of tomatoes if they are or if season. It will usually last about three days and then the rest just gets added to whatever's getting cooked.

Any fish will do. I love those ugly rock fish but those frozen salmon patties from Costco are a great no fuss option

Try making a Cojita Cream sauce and putting on them.  MONEY  Eat fish tacos no less then once a week but usually twice. Prefer halibut but seabass is good to.  Agree small corn tortillas and cabbage are two must haves IMO.

Our recipe has evolved a lot over the years but right now we do a chipotle sauce with Adobo chipotle, mayo, sour cream some lime juice and a little garlic with a cabbage slaw and hybrid tortillas. Gooood stuff
Title: Re: Who likes fish tacos?

I do!

Lighthouse makes a jalapeno ranch dressing that works pretty well right from the jar.
Title: Re: Who likes fish tacos?
Post by: Kc_Kracker on January 31, 2019, 06:12:45 PM
Yes finely shredded cabbage is a must, we do that with lettuce, basicaly a fine coleslaw mix, with onion and avacado. and the fish we found a tempura beer batter we like best

Lately I've been using half avocado/olive oil and breading the in 50/50 grated parmesan/almond flour. Even skipped the egg wash. As good or better as the usual beer batter. :tup:

Interesting. Light olive oil? The fish doesn’t pick up too much olive oil flavor?

I coat halibut in olive oil, then put on a good coat of Johnny’s. Cook on the grill on a fish grate. Cole slaw, halibut and cheese with a shake of Tapatio on a corn tortilla heated in olive oil. Can’t get enough of them.

since olive oil doesnt take heat well without burning i would think having to cook at a low temp they would absorb alot of oil and get spongy? i just use veggie oil or sometimes i go full on fat kid and use butter flavored crisco.

Not at all. Did a batch of wild turkey strips two nights ago the same way  minus the egg wash  and it was excellent too. No olive oil taste to me and I'm pretty picky in what I call "good".

Did tacos last night with yellow eye. I don't bread them, but marinate in a blend of southwest spices, smoked sea salt, and cilantro in olive oil with some lime juice. Get oil smoking hot and fry for no more than 2 minutes. In a tortilla with fresh pico, chopped cabbage, and cilantro cream sauce. Bomb diggity

Marinating makes a big difference in my opinion. I do a mix of McCormick southwest seasoning, sea salt, lime, cilantro, chipotles in adobo sauce, and olive oil. 1-3 hours. Fantastic

I like fish tacos if the outside of the fish is crunchy but the inside is still moist.

Cut your fish(any white meat fish works great, I haven't tried salmon)) in lengthwise pieces about 1/2X1/2X2-3 inches, dip in egg and then corn flake crumbs, deep fry and don't overcook... crunchy on outside and moist inside. I like breaded better than just fried as well.

I also think corn breading and corn tortillas are 10X better tasting than flour. Be sure to use cabbage instead of lettuce.

Being on Keto currently, found this to be a great option for breaded fish (not tacos though). Wife even liked it and that's saying something regarding fish. Didn't find it to be too "olivey" tasting, but it was a quick fry with smaller grade walleye from the freezer.

I think I paid 2x that for my fry cutter  :yike: mine looks like the same model.

i just use veggie oil / deep fryer oil and salt, sometimes i make the kids jo-jos with johnnys seasoning. i prefer the 1/2" cutter for steak fries  :drool: for all you keto folks it works great on diacon fries too
