Fish tacos (.9, .9, .9)


So keep reading for a few more sentences. There is something about the term Fish Tacos that either excites you or turns you off. Probably if you have never had them you are wondering, hmmm that doesn't sound right. Turns out if you like fried fish, a bit a salad, guacamole, and spicy mayo, this is the quick dinner for you.
I first had them years ago on a business trip. It was a local specialty in Texas. (I don't buy the urban legend that they originated in California). Now days they are quite common on menus. Each time I see them and I trust the restaurant, I give them a whirl. They come in two basic styles, fried fish or grilled fish. Its tough to not like fried food, so I thought I would try the fried style first.
I thought I would make the tortilla shells, but after looking at the type I could buy, I decided to buy some small corn tortilla. I think next time I will make some small thin pizza shells and grill them for the tacos.
To this add the Chipotle Mayonnaise, fried fish, and guacamole. I guess you can make a taco out of whatever you like. Its all about having the freshest stuff available.

I think this was my favorite meal of the summer. I still think we should come up with another name...fish taco just doesn't do this justice!
