Fish Tacos!

BRRMember

I've got a great recipe, but my question with FISH TACOS is more specific to the fish preparation. I generally use halibut, but others (even tilapia) have worked well.

My question is around how you like the fish prepared. For me, fried is last in the line. I really think grilled is the way to go. Broiled fish for the tacos works in a pinch when the weather is bad, but fried fish covers up all the other flavors.

Here's the question: do you like your fish in fish tacos fried, grilled or broiled?

grilled is the only way in my opinion

When I make them at home, I bread the fish and bake it...very delish! My fish of choice is halibut but would be open to using another type of fish since halibut is usually 18.99/pound.

Grilled, definately. And any whitefish will do for me. Had some great fish tacos in Puerto Vallarta recently, but I have no idea what kind of fish they used.
Salmon oils impart another flavor altogether that, to me, is distracting to the dish.

So BRR, did you squeeze this recipe out of Ned, the cactus?

As long as it's a good taco, I don't care how they're prepared.

We are all so glad you weighed in with your opinion. One question. What if it were a bad taco, would you still not care?

You know cb, it's really time to ditch this incarnation of yours reinvent yourself as a witty character (note that I did not say wittier). When I think of a bad taco, I think of you.

As witty as you've shown to be? Nice taco joke, Bastard.

You're kidding? In Boston, it had been dirt cheap. No wonder I haven't prepared any seafood since coming to the big "D".

(Did have a surprisingly good salmon cake for lunch at Cafe Pacifica the other day.)

Yes, it was supposed to be a *sigh*.

I've never tried Snapper. I'll give it a shot, mattach! Thanks for the tip.

I make good fish tacos by poaching/steaming the fish in a jalapeno infused stock. Good in crunchy taco shells.
In soft tortillas I like fried or grilled fish.

The best fish tacos I've ever had, at Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing, CA,are Halibut.

I love baja style beer battered tacos, but grilled are my favorite.

Seabass (white or calico) or any firm white fish without too strong of flavor. Halibut is good also.

I always put green cabbage (never lettuce),

"pico de gallo" (salsa of diced tomato, onion, serrano, jalapeno, cilantro)

mayo hot sauce mixture (I like the "hot" version of Pico Pica)

and a wedge of lime.

Best fish taco in my book. Oh and homemade tortillas will make them extra good. mmm

Boones-

Your preferences with the Pico de Gallo (probably, IMO, the most critical non-fish ingredient) and the cabbage, plus a spicy white taco sauce are right on in my book. Man, I'm getting hungry! BTW - I've tried pepper jack cheese in them and it ain't too bad.

Generally I'd keep fish and cheese away from one another, but this combo sounds good.

tannic-

That was my initial reaction, too. However, just a touch of it was pretty good. Generally, though, I think it's an unnecessary addition. Stick to the fish, pico, sauce and cabbage.
