This recipe comes from Mary Nell Reck, a local chef and restaurant owner who, sadly, is no longer with us. She also wrote a weekly cooking lesson for The Houston Post, which also no longer exists! This was from that paper on October 4, 1989.The prep work may seem a little lengthy, but it all goes together quickly once you start!

WOW! Do we love these fish tacos, and there are so many variations. This is one of my favorites and most authentic. Or, Think fresh grilled mahi-mahi slipped inside a thick warm corn tortilla and topped with thinly sliced cabbage, drizzled with lime juice and a splash of creme fresh. YUMMY!
This recipe is dedicated to my niece Ruth who lives in San Diego. When I visit we always drive down to Ensenada for fish tacos. The fish are fried in batter there. I’ve taken a few liberties and added beer and taco seasoning to the batter. I prefer the catfish nuggets because they are nice and firm, have a great taste and are usually the cheapest fish at the local market.
This recipe is adapted from a Food & Wine Annual Cookbook for 2012. It has wonderful layers of flavor. They suggest a medium bodied Spanish white wine to accompany the dish.
