Fish Tacos

Reported by:  Jean Harper

The first time that I had a Fish Taco was in a small, family-owned restaurant in Laguna Beach, California.  The ingredients were fresh and it was delicious!  I think the key to a good Fish Taco is in the freshness of the ingredients especially the fish.  Here is a recipe that you can try.  If you have never tasted a Fish Taco- you're in for a treat.

Fish Tacos

Ingredients:

• 6 cups cubed Sea Bass or Talapia
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 8 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/2 medium white onions, minced
• 4 large, ripe tomatoes, diced
• 4 Serrano chilies, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper for the salsa
• 1 1/2 medium white onions, minced
• 6 green Serrano chilies, minced
• 4 large, ripe tomatoes, diced finely
• 1 cup minced cilantro
• 1 tablespoon minced oregano
• Juice of 2 limes
• 6 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt For the garnish:
• Steaming hot wheat or white corn tortillas
• Refried beans
• Sliced avocado
• Lettuce

Cooking Instructions:

In a saucepot, boil the fish in salted water until cooked through. Drain well and set aside.

To make the fish, heat oil and butter in a skillet. Add the onion, tomato and chilies and cook until the oil rises to the top of the pan. Add the fish and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the fish has absorbed the sauce.

To make the salsa, in a glass bowl, combine the onion, chilies, tomato and cilantro. Mix together and add the oregano, lime juice, oil and salt. Let sit for at least 40 minutes.

To serve, arrange each plate with tacos spread with the refried beans, lettuce and avocado. Top with the salsa and fish.

Enjoy!
