We had extra fish leftover from a recipe we made last night (Fish, shrimp, and feta cheese soup, so tasty! By imagined demand, here’s the recipe<\/a>). We didn’t want to make a grocery store run today, so we nosed about in the refrigerator to find something to do with the fish and found tortillas and lettuce. The menu was obvious: fish tacos!<\/p>\n

I remember the first time I had fish tacos. I was working on a job in San Diego and the locals I was working with said, “let’s go get fish tacos for lunch today.” I figured this was a torture the out-of-towner scenario, but I was a good sport and went along with it. I was surprised to find fish tacos were for real, and that they were incredibly delicious. <\/p>\n

You can grill or fry the fish. I’m a firm believer that any food is better when fried. We had tilapia fillets. I sliced them into long thin strips, dipped them in milk and egg, and then in seasoned flour to make a thin batter. Fried them until nicely browned, rolled them in a warm tortilla with a little lettuce, tomato, and onion, and yum!<\/p>\n

In San Diego they were always served with shredded cabbage. We didn’t have any cabbage, and the lettuce stood in for it just fine.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never had fish tacos they sound weird and not at all appealing. But once you’ve had fish tacos you’ll be sad for all the years you’ve wasted not eating them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
