Looking for a fish taco recipe

searing some tuna

This works well and goes with a wide variety of toppings.

I use beer batter fish as well. Any saltwater fish would work fine. Grouper and snapper are my favorite but usually I use speckled trout or anything else I catch.

I was thinking searing some tuna

I usually bake or grill some type of white fish such as haddock, mahi, etc. or salmon. For the sauce, I make a chipotle & lime mayo mix (aioli?). Add some corn and tomatoes.

I sometimes do tuna but I will make a ginger & lime mayo and add fresh mint and basil. Salmon works with this combo too.

Thanks for the suggestions

We’re not going 100% hardcore diet.. but trying to avoid restaurants/fried/processed foods. It’s very hard coming up with new recipes bc literally everything we eat down here is not healthy

I second cod, haddock or mahi. I like to do fish tacos with lightly blackened fish and then make a mango salsa to go with it. Simple and fresh.

Fish - redfish/wahoo/cobia/etc

Here's my favorite:
1/4 C olive oil
2 tbs white vinegar
2 tbs fresh lime juice
2 tsp lime zest
1.5 tsp honey
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Tony's
1/2 tsp block pepper
1 tsp Crystal/Tabasco
Marinade in fridge a couple hours

Sauce
1/2 C sour cream
1/3 C mayo
2 tbs lime juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Sriracha

Main thing is the kind of fish,

I prefer white meat.

I use ling cod or sea bass.

If I was in LA I'd be using speckled trout or flounder.

a fish taco with tuna is a good bit different than a fish taco with cod/haddock, or with Tilapia or trout.

with a white fish, i think what's important is the sauce. a good baja sauce is what makes it good. little mayo, sour cream, good bit of lime juice, lots of seasoning (old bay) and some cilantro. Doesn't matter what white fish you use, it'll be good.
We blacken some trout, put a little dry coleslaw and that baja sauce. simple and delicious.

blackened trout tacos seasoned a good taco seasoning with some home made pico is great

I’ve never understood the fish taco thing.

I don’t like fish sandwiches either.

Go ahead and kick my arse, but fish and taco just sounds bad.

Why hasn’t anybody realized the taco and fish reference.

Tacos should be beef or pork. (not even chicken)

Fish should be served as an entree, cooked however you like with whatever toppings you like or none at all.

Downvotes incoming.

Look up recipes for Baja fish tacos. That is how I do mine. I don’t have a recipe but when I do I just look in the internet. Dark beer & flour is what I recall. The slaw and crema make it. As far as fish Mahi for fried, red snapper for grilled or blackened.
