Eat Them Up... Yum!

Do this. Do this now.

For years, I have been evangelizing the Fish Taco . The reaction, historically, has been similar to me telling people I honeymooned in Savannah, GA -- if you've never experienced it, you can't understand why it would possibly be a good idea. Fish TACOS?!? FISH tacos?!?

Trust me: INCREDIBLY good idea. Outside of Baja California and San Diego, the proper fish taco is a rarity. "Proper" may be an odd word choice for what started out as street food, but there are many "improper" fish tacos between here and there. I had a fish taco in Washington State that was... terrifying. Terrifying to the point I still don't understand why you would offer it on the menu. It was so bad a fish taco as to not be worth being called a fish taco... and it was a crappy version of whatever it was actually trying to be. Grrr!

Real fish tacos are light and fresh, use shredded green cabbage instead of lettuce, and are best with cilantro, the white sauce (mystery) they make for such things, and a little salsa verde. Oh, and a quick squeeze of lime. Email me, and we'll track down some of the local renditions, and I can weigh in on their authenticity.
