Being a tree hugger, I’ve actually never had a fish taco before, although they look delightful. It’s interesting how the cuisine varies so much in different parts of Mexico. Living in San Diego, our idea of fish tacos is a beer battered fried hunk of fish served on a small corn tortilla with chopped cabbage, crema which appears to be pretty much just runny sour cream, spicy salsa, and a squeeze of lime. I’ve also seen them topped with cilantro and cheese as well. Your version is an interesting take, I love the mixed salad greens. ;) You should come to San Diego if you haven’t done so already. We have scallop and lobster burritos. :cry:

Thank you! I made it last night and it was the perfect light dinner. For the salsa I made my own (chopped, avocados, tomatos, onions, lettuce, and cilantro).

I just made these tonight, they were a great healthy alternative to the usual beef burritos we make at home. I followed your fish recipe exactly (except I had to use olive oil instead of coconut oil — I couldn’t find it at the grocery store) and I added some of our own favorite sides. Cheddar cheese, sour cream, arugula, chopped tomato instead of salsa, and guacamole. This was super easy to make and I think I will make it more often. Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to mention that I made these tonight and they were great! I used regular salsa instead and added extra peppers. Thanks for sharing :)

I’ve been wanting to move beyond the refrigerator pickles that I make and into the realm of true pickledom, but I was fearing just this sort of thing. Thanks so much for making the mistakes for us.

Ha! I just made fish tacos too! Although my recipe was not really much like yours–I mean, it involved a frying pan, and fish, and, uh, tortillas, and lime…ok, it was reasonably similar. But I am nonetheless interested in the cooking of all in the same pan. Also, red peppers. Yay!

Fish tacos, now we’re talkin’. And I love it that Kim makes the tortillas. Maybe when deb gets back from her margaritas and mole in Mexico she can plant some corn in flowerboxes outside of her Manhattan apartment windows and make her own tortillas, like truly from scratch. That would be really cool, don’t you think?

Totally agree on the shredded cabbage. And with some chipotle cream? Too good.

My husband and I have taken to making corn tortillas by hand for fish tacos. They’re really easy to make and if you have two people, you can have one person cook the fish and one make the tortillas. They are much better when made freshly than when you buy them. Elise at Simply Recipes had a good recipe – we sprinkle in some chipotle powder, mostly for color. And don’t buy a cheap aluminum press- they warp and bend. We replaced ours almost immediately with a cast iron one.
