Cajun Fish Tacos
I've been wanting fish tacos for a while so yesterday evening I made them but put a lil Cajun twist on it. The Cajun twist started with the fish I used. Gar fish! Yep, alligator gar. I used a local seasoning, Frank Davis' Bronzing seasoning and added a lil ground cumin with that. Then onto a hot grill! http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04471.jpg Of course an ice cold beer is a handy thing to have whenever your standing around a hot grill! http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04467.jpg These were gar fish steaks. http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04473.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04479.jpg Putting the tacos together made me thirsty for some "horny toes" so of course...... http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04480.jpg Plated and ready to eat! http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04486.jpg Gar fish tacos with shredded cabbage and a limey cilantro crema, Mexican rice and black beans(I for got the queso fresco until after I took the picture). http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSC04489.jpg Excellent meal! |

Looks good. The "horny toes" is just a cold shot of Hornitos with a lime wedge correct?
|
Sorry to disapoint you but I was just making a play on words.
Hornitos=Horny Toes....... |
Andy gator goes w/ anything. Looks good.....
|
Did you catch that gar Nate?
Next time I catch one I'm going to eat it. |
No, unfortunately I bought those gar steaks in Port Barre.
Just cut nice thick steaks from the thick tail area, batter like catfish and fry. You'll love it! Especially on a sandwich. |
My work neighbor across the hall from has an Uncle that fishes Garfish. I may but a few pounds with him so I don't have to mess with it. He has cleaning them down to a science. Takes him under 2 minutes to clean a 30lb gar..... maybe less than that.
