Title: Looking for a fish taco recipe.
Post by: Agronomist_at_IA on Nov 05, 2017, 08:52 PM
My son wants to catch a bunch of blue gills and make some fish tacos......anyone have any good simple recipes that taste great?

Just a note but not big on lemon flavor here.

Fish tacos, delicious and hard to mess up.! I would recommend the Andys brand of red breading, but what ever you like is fine. I like to slightly over cook my fish for fish taco's as the fish is so delicate it's nice to give the fish a little more 'body' or crunch if you will. Fresh cabbage gives a great crunch and balances the dish, it can be had pre shredded designed for coleslaw. You could even use coleslaw but it dominates the dish a little to much for my taste. Now if your not going to spend all day making a salsa verde (green sauce)  or a tomatoes salsa from scratch I would recommend finding a red taco sauce and some store bought verde. I know it's a gringo move but I like to buy the Taco Bell hot sauce that they sell in a full bottle. And also a creamy green sauce I will look for a link. If cabbage and salsa is not enough of additions to the fish you could chop onion and cilantro and serve them together in a bowl, also you could coin and then quarter radish. Lastly you want to find decent tortillas, look to spend a couple extra dollars and find the most Mexican looking package you can find. I highly recommend corn tortillas for fish tacos but many Americans are put off. Good lucck!!

Just be creative,you don't need a recipe. Fry fish in a light breading or batter. I like flour tortillas but use any you like. Use toppings you like, shredded iceberg lettuce,diced tomatoes, avocado, chopped cucumber,cabbage slaw, sliced sweet onions, corn,black beans,salsa,shredded cheese,and kind you like. I make fish tacos a lot and they never are the same,whatever we have in the fridge or pantry works well.

I'm a fan of this recipe with the pre-shredded coleslaw discussed above.

I grill the fish, then my wife whips up some cut cabbage - add salsa - sour cream - soft flour tortillas - super easy and good
