CHOPPED FRIED-FISH TACOS (TACOS DE SALPICóN DE PESCADO)
Take fried fish, break it up, and douse it with lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, chiles, and cilantro, and you have an incredible jumble of textures and flavors. Because you hack the fish into bits, there's no need to find perfect-for-presentation fillets, so this is a great way to use those that aren't flawless, as long as they're fresh.

Steps:
- Put the fish in a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and the salt, and toss well. Put the flour in another large bowl, add the fish, and toss very well to evenly coat the fish.
- Pour 3 inches of canola oil into a Dutch oven or medium pot and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the oil, shake off a little flour from the fish, then add the fish to the oil and fry until the pieces are lightly golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel to drain.
- When the fish is just cool enough to handle, put it in a large bowl and add the onions, cilantro, chiles, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Toss and mix well with your hands or a spoon, breaking up the strips into small pieces as you do. Season to taste with more lime juice, chiles, and salt.
- Serve alongside tortillas and lime wedges, topped with avocado slices and Fresh Green Salsa.

BATTER FRIED HADDOCK FISH TACOS
It's an easy and light recipe and great for anytime of the year. I think that it makes a fall/winter day festive and a great spring/summer season starter. The fish is fresh and inviting and the ingredients are just perfect. I'm still a novice in Mexican cuisine, but I am hoping that I did this recipe some justice!

BAJA FRIED FISH TACOS
My daughter Bethany and I love fish tacos! The best fish taco I ever had was at the San Diego Zoo in California. I don't know what it was about them, but I never forgot it and had to recreate it of course. This is my version, and yes you do use two taco shells per taco. :)

Steps:
- 1. In a shallow bowl, combine beer, flour, and salt. Whisk to blend well. After it is mixed, let it settle at room temperature for an hour. ** Then whisk vigorously before dunking the fish in it. This will give your fish a lighter crispier taste on the outside.
- 2. Rinse fish, pat dry, and cut into 4 equal pieces.
- 3. In a deep, heavy pan, heat 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Using a fork to turn fish, coat 2 pieces of fish with beer batter; lift out and drain briefly. Slide batter-coated fish into oil; turn up heat to maintain oil temperature. Cook, turning once, until fish is golden (about 2 minutes). Lift from oil with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Keep warm while you batter and fry remaining 2 pieces of fish.
- 4. Mix the mayonnaise with the yogart and season with pepper to taste; set aside.
- 5. *** To assemble each taco, stack 2 warmed tortillas; top with fish and a fourth of the cabbage. Spoon on the mayonnaise mixture and salsa to taste. Squeeze lime over filling; then fold tortillas to enclose filling and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: For fish tacos, a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand being cooked quickly over high heat is best. Some good options include tilapia, cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi.
- Make sure the fish is properly seasoned: Before cooking, season the fish with a flavorful blend of spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish and make it more enjoyable to eat.
- Cook the fish until it is cooked through: Fish should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
- Use a good quality tortilla: The tortilla is an important part of the fish taco. Make sure to use a good quality tortilla that is soft and pliable.
- Load up on the toppings: Fish tacos can be topped with a variety of different ingredients, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sour cream. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
Conclusion:
Fish tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or a fun party appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make amazing fish tacos that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
