BAJA FISH TACOS



Baja Fish Tacos image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish. This will give your tacos the best flavor. If you're using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the fish well. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will do the trick.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of toppings. This will make your tacos more interesting and flavorful. Some good ideas include shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
  • Serve the tacos with a squeeze of lime. This will add a bright, acidic flavor that will complement the other flavors in the taco.

Conclusion:

Baja fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. They are also a great way to use up leftover fish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
