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.
Make and share this Tacos De Pescado (Baja Style Fish Taco) recipe from Food.com.
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.
Beer battered fish with a “secret” garlic cilantro sauce, guacamole, and salsa. The fish are double fried allowing you to do most of the preparation ahead of time and making the fish crispy. My mom has declared this her favorite meal. Grandmother said this was the best fish she has had in 89 years and 10 months. This really makes more servings than listed, but people usually continue eating these even when they are full!
