Tacos de Pescado

The first time I had a fish taco I fell hard.

 
Brad and I drove down to the tip of the Baja many moons ago and we spent a few months camping, surfing and feasting on all things Mexico-including tacos de pescado. My fave mexi dish is hands down the fish taco- any way, any how.

Baja fish tacos typically contain fresh white fish that is battered lightly and fried then folded up in a corn tortilla along with cabbage salad and some sort of creamy dressing. Start there then go on any tangent you like to re-invent these tasty little morsels to your liking. Sometimes we use salmon or tofu instead of white fish...sometimes we bake it instead of fry it...sometimes we stuff them with guacamole and other times we go with mango salsa. There are no rules in my kitchen...other than the cook doesn't clean...but that one never seems to hold up...
