Post by: Stein on January 27, 2022, 11:34:47 AM: I usually go with sriracha and mayo, maybe lime if I have it.
Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: mcrawfordaf on January 27, 2022, 11:35:21 AM: Lime & Mayo... That's it. Sometimes less is more.

We used to go down to Baja/TJ every summer growing up and that's what they put on the fish tacos. It's what my grandma would use as well. Maybe some fresh cilantro.

This is my favorite, I like to add Siracha sauce to heat it up a bit.

Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: Badhabit on January 27, 2022, 02:14:23 PM: 1/2 half cup may, 3 tbls ground black pepper and a dash of siracha sauce. Santiago's here in Yakima served this sauce on their fish tacos.
Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: NRA4LIFE on January 27, 2022, 03:02:03 PM: 3 Tbsp of pepper in a 1/2 c mayo? Are you sure about that ratio? That is an awful lot of pepper.

I'm think ~~chipotle, mayo,~~ sour cream, lime, cilantro....

Less is more with a good fish taco.

Post by: pianoman9701 on January 27, 2022, 03:21:06 PM: There's a line of sauces made by a Battleground dude, Silagy Sauce. They have great flavor. I like the Ghost sauce because it's hot but not terrifyingly so. You can actually taste the pepper flavor in all of them. Buy local.

You get it :tup: What's the point of a good fish taco if all you taste is spicy cream sauce? The spice should come from the pico or salsa. Not the sauce.

Post by: The scout on January 27, 2022, 03:53:50 PM: :yeah: I only put homemade pico on em and hot sauce. No need for sauce IMHO
Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: Badhabit on January 27, 2022, 03:59:36 PM: It really is a lot of pepper. It mellows as the pepper and mayo blend. You can use 2 tbls and always add more.

Post by: hunter399 on January 28, 2022, 06:08:45 AM: Taco Bell.....
Like when I'm on the go,or throw taco or burrito in my lunch for work taco bell sauce packets are great.
You can put them in ramon soup and just all kind of garbage.

A fish sauce
Manoyase,lemon juice,tiny bit of spicy mustard,jalapenos,black pepper ,salt, Cheyenne pepper if you want it really spicy little bit goes along ways.

I just made that up in my head,but mayo,lemon would be my main ingredients.

This. I’m not sure how this is legal. Goodness it’s amazing.
Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: Mike450r on January 28, 2022, 09:50:52 AM: Kraft has a very good chipotle mayo that is great on fish/shrimp tacos.

Or get a can of chipotle in adobo blend with mayo and sour cream to taste. IMO chipotle mayo is the way to go with fish/shrimp tacos.

Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: CaNINE on January 29, 2022, 07:30:22 AM: 8oz sour cream
1 bunch cilantro
1 jalapeño
2-3 garlic cloves
Salt to taste
Juice from 1 lime

Pulse until smooth

I’ve been making this for years as a fish taco sauce or over chicken. Made it this week and forgot to buy limes so poured in a little coconut milk to kick the blender into gear. I poured in to much so the concoction was too soupy. So poured the sauce into a bowl of shredded cabbage and created an amazing slaw that went killer on the shrimp tacos.
Title: Re: Who has THE BEST fish taco sauce?
Post by: Jonathan_S on January 29, 2022, 08:35:34 AM: Cilantro tastes like soap to me. Lately I've been doing up slaw with diced cucumbers, yellow pepper, red onion, jalapenos (seeds in), a dash of vinegar and salt/pepper. Goes well either mixed with cold fish or on top of fresh fish. And of course a hot fried corn tortilla

Post by: LDennis24 on January 29, 2022, 11:47:03 AM: Sounds like a lot of tweaking on a basic cilantro lime sauce but I would say just about everyone on here has a good recipe. You pick your heat, pick your cream and pick your salsa, sweet or spicy. But first, go to the nearest Maverik has station and get some of these! :chuckle: They are usually by the fountain drinks and you can just grab a few. They are amazing for packing with you to season fish and birds!

Post by: merkaba93 on March 24, 2022, 03:25:57 PM: I usually take a small can of chipotle peppers in adobo. Take out all the peppers and finely dice one of them (or two if you like your sauce hot). Reserve the other peppers for another use. Then mix the remaining adobo, and your one pepper and mix with sour cream.

I'll post a photo of a walleye taco I did. The walleye I just doctor "Pride of the West Batter" with some cumin, powdered oregano and ancho chili powder, mix with some beer. Fry em. Then some homemade salsa verde, red onion and purple cabbage slaw, pineapple, cilantro and the sauce I mentioned above. My fav fish taco.

Post by: wamuledeer on March 28, 2022, 09:15:50 AM: This may sound a little odd but I made this for coconut shrimp tacos initially but it works with fish tacos too.
I dont measure unfortunately lol.
Equal parts sour cream and mayo.
Lime juice
Granulated garlic
Sweet chili sauce
Plus maybe a little hoisin sauce or Korean BBQ sauce.
