Fish Taco Recipe

[Duck Butter]

Just looked at SaltyShaws post and I am going to make those tacos tonight

Went to Islamorada a few years back and that was the big thing, but they used mahi mahi and seems like they used a beer batter for the fish and then had a cole slaw type dressing with shredded cabbage. It was purty good. I use Louisiana fish fry for my fish, what are some other good tidbits of info for making fish tacos? Dang I am hungry

Just made some last night with red snapper. I used a lime juice based marinade. Grilled the fish and served them in corn tortillas with a roasted tomatillo sauce and fresh shredded cabbage. If interested in details let me know I'll post um.

I use trout I cook them in olive oil with some slap your mama and then use the shredded cabbage and then put some chinese sirachi chilli sauce on it.

Fish Marinade in this Order
Salt
Lemon Pepper
Dill
Garlic Powder
Paprika
Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice over the top (1 lime)
The longer it sits on fish the better
Grill the fish on a high heat about 5 minutes on each side depending on thickness of filet.

Tomatillo Sauce
Roasted tomatillos (6 or so)
One roasted jalapeno
Half a red onion
Fresh cilantro (to taste)
Whole avacado
Lime juice (half a lime)
Minced Garlic
I roasted the veggies on my stove ( I have a gas stove). Remove the skin of the tomatillos and jalapeno. Put all ingredients in blender and pulse until a creamy sauce.

I used corn tortillas that I roasted on a cast iron griddle on my stove. Cut up some fresh cabbage and used that as a garnish. You can not go wrong with this recipe. Trout should work just fine as a substitute.

Enjoy

Try a sweet salsa on fish tacos.
I like mango /corn salsa

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

I forgot that I removed the seeds of the jalapeno as well.

Ight Hamma

[ragincajun327]

1 medium avocado mashed
1/2 lime, juiced
Try this sauce. It's like Serranos in BR

3 tablespoons sour cream
2 1/2 tablespoons mayonaise
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

[Duck Butter]

I am going to make a sweet/hot sauce and a more tomato based salsa type sauce also. My neighbor has a lime tree that just so happens to be dropping a few limes in my yard every week Guy is a great neighbor, earlier in the year the satsumas were falling in my yard

Gonna sorta steam the shredded cabbage just to make it a little tender and then will have some poppyseed dressing for that on the side. Grandma used to make coleslaw with that stuff and it is perfect. \

[downsouth]

Batter:
1 cup flour
1 bottle dark beer
salt and garlic powder

Baja sauce:
1/2 cup plain yogourt
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 onion diced fine
5 to 6 roma tomatoes diced
about 1/2 to 1 cup of salsa (your choice)
2 tbsp of minced garlic
1 tsp of cummin
Mix all together

Corn tortilla:
either microwave for a few seconds or pan fry in a lil oil --Not to long you don't want it crunchy..

Corn tortilla, piece of fried fish, sauce and shreeded lettuce or cabbage, with a squirt of lime juice...
Very good...

Got about 3 stories going here, so

1. Just made the things with trout and they were awesome, had to cook em early cuz wife was coming in from Fl and my mother was bringing my son back to me..

2. Bout to throw in the fish and wife says she has some 'bumble bee snapper' I say 'beeliner snapper', yeah thats it! Her and her girlfriends were at the dock and somebody had a cart full of em yesterday and she got a bag full of filets (not sure what happened to get fillets, but what happens in Fl stays in Fl.. as long as you bring back filets!)

3. Made a side dish I have been wanting to make, and it is the best and simplest thing ever. I boiled some small new potatoes. Cooled em down and then smashed them pretty flat, stick them on a baking dish, put some olive oil on the top, seasonings and parmesan cheese, throw them in the oven at 450 for 30 minutes, it is incredible! Made a dozen of them and could have eaten 2 dozen!

Be careful with the limes.........lemons don't get ripe until Dec. The limes could be very bitter this time of year.

They were all good. I am not sure if they are lemons or limes though
