Tacos De Pescado (Baja Style but No Cabbage)

I love Tacos Pescado, but I’m not a fan of the Baja Style. I love the breaded and fried fish, but I just can’t embrace having it served in tortillas with cole slaw. I found this style of Tacos Pescado while eating at J. Anthony’s Seafood Cafe in San Antonio, TX. I’ve duplicated and improved the style somewhat.

Baja Yaha (Fish Tacos)

This little delight was inspired by the date May 4th. The day before Cinco de Mayo. It’s quick, easy to put together and pretty healthy.

Baja Sauce

So good on tilapia, mahi mahi, fish tacos, black beans, grilled shrimp or even as the sauce for cabbage slaw.

Classic Baja-Style Fish Tacos

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.
