mmmm....fish tacos

[minniecarousel]

I've been trying these anytime I see them on a menu. I tried to order them at Chevy's but they were out of frsh fish (!?!?!)

They tend to be on the menu of every "alehouse" type restaurant we go to.

Anyone else like fish tacos?

Fish and Taco do not sound like two words that should go together to me. I have been scared to try them.

 

[airhead]

...not for me!

 

[minniecarousel]

haha!

Must be a California thing!

They're soft corn tortillas, grilled white fish & cabbage or shredded lettuce.

So the fish taste is not overpowering? I am intrigued... I might try this sometime.

I just made them for dinner - so tasty!

I used Orange Roughy

I love fish tacos but the only good ones I have had have been in California or Hawaii. Lae Lani's on Ka'anapali Beach makes the best cajun fish tacos!

Back when Chevy's was a local restaurant in the Bay Area I used to order the fish fajitas a lot. Just like steak or chicken fajitas but with fresh grilled fish (varied by what was in season).

What exactly are fish tacos like? I have heard of them but I do not think that people would be such fans if they were just taco shells filled with fish.

My mind is in the gutter.

Love fish tacos. I have never had them anywhere except the ones we make at home.

 

[OceanAnnie]

I've heard of them. Never seen one on a menu. Never seen one. It doesn't sound appetizing, but depending on how it looked I might try it.

Believe it or not, in Texas....the home of Tex Mex....fish tacos are pretty popular. I started eating them about 15 years ago and LOVE them.

 

[nuke]

They're awesome!

Tonight, I just fried orange roughy filets with a seasoned cornmeal batter, served them in a flour tortilla with lettuce, salsa, guacamole. DH threw cheese, tomato, and sour cream in his.

My DH loves them, but the smell of them makes me nauseous. He orders them on business lunches to save me the displeasure. I don't know why I react to them so negatively. I love tacos. I love fish. Just can't handle them together I guess.

 

[Sonya]

I love them! But to make tm I use deep fried fish. Yumm!!!!

 

[kirbsam]

My mind is in the gutter.

right there with you.

Traditionally they are made with soft corn tortillas and grilled white fish, though lots of American places serve them in flour tortillas and use breaded, fried fish. Instead of a regular tomato salsa, they are usually served with a creamy sauce made with sour cream & lime.

mmmmmm!! They are so yummy!

But if people are picturing some fish in a crunchy taco shell, I don't think I'd find that too appetizing, either.

Love 'em! But I'm never going to order them again at this place after reading this in the "20 Worst Foods in America" on Yahoo tonight :

Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America: A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.

Yikes! There goes my "healthy" selection
