Grilled Fish for Tacos image

Rather than double-fry it as they do in Baja, we rubbed ours with 3 spices and grilled it.

Yield Makes 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for garnishing
2-pound fillet of striped bass or red snapper, skin intact
Lime wedges, for garnishing

Steps:

  • Stir together spices and salt. Mix in olive oil and cilantro. Use a sharp knife to make shallow slashes about 1 1/2 inches apart into the fish skin; transfer to a large dish and rub both sides with spice mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Preheat a clean, lightly oiled grill to high heat. Place fish, flesh-side down, on hot grill. Do not move for 3 to 5 minutes, or until fish is opaque. Flip using 2 spatulas. Cook until fish flakes slightly when pressed, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Transfer fish fillet to a plate. Set aside to cool slightly. Place on a serving platter, shred fillet with fork into bite-size pieces, and garnish platter with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately, or within 1 hour at room temperature.

I wasn't a fan of these fish tacos. The fish was overcooked and the flavors were bland.

The fish tacos were good, but I found the fish to be a bit dry. I think I might try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish tacos turned out great! The fish was cooked through but still moist, and the flavors were well-balanced. I will definitely be making these again.

These fish tacos were a hit with my family! The fish was perfectly cooked and flaky, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the combination of the chipotle crema and the pickled red onions.
