I made these for Cinco de Mayo, and they were muy excellente! My bf said he never understood the big deal about fish tacos until he tasted these! Delicious, light and flaky fish with a lemon sour cream and cabbage on top.
Very similar to the tacos in Ensenda but with upper Midwest fish of perch or walleye. Original recipe was from # 286078 by Cookiedog.
I love these fish tacos. You can find them in many California areas. You can either order the fish grilled or fried and because I love deep fried food, it’s always fried fish for me when ordering or making them. Besides the spicy cabbage slaw I also like to top the whole thing with mounds of salsa and taco sauce. Goes great with Pacifico!
The original recipe is from The Gourmet Cookbook, and is adapted from the tacos served at Rubio’s Baja Grill. I’ve made a couple changes, but mostly to the sauce — trying to duplicate the wonderful sauce used at Barryhill Baja Grill in Houston. It may take a little more work but frying the fish twice is what gives it a crisper crust.
The Los Angeles Times published this recipe in 1979, back when chinese chicken salads were all the rage. I still make this recipe but usually add some manderin orange segements on top.
