Looking for fish taco recipes

[lilwalter]

Need my Cozumel fish taco fix w/o going to Cozumel. I prefer a white sauce. Anybody got a good one? What kind of fish do you use? I was thinking sunnies would be good? Thanks for helping me out.

[sptitz]

Sunnies would be fine, fresh fish is always best. Use cabbage, not lettuce. Corn tortillas not flour. I like to top with red onioins, tomatoes, fresh guacamole.

This sauce is very good.

Crema Mexicana:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

1 Heat the cream on the stovetop until slightly warmer than room temperature. (about 100 degrees with a thermometer).

2 Remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.

3 Pour into a glass jar. Place the lid on top of the jar but don't tighten it. Put the jar in a warm room for at least 4 but up to 12 hours. It will be thickened and you can use it then (especially if using as a sauce in a dish such as enchiladas), or refrigerate for another 4 to 12 hours to thicken even more.

here just cut and copied it...

O.K. here's one I made last week for about 20 people... A fish fry was being bantied about by all the neighbors, but nobody seemed too gung ho about eating batter fried fish, so I made a suggestion: walleye tacos... it drew mixed responses at first, but I talked them into it. even the ol' timers that said "they didn't sound too good" loved em!

Walleye Tacos

- cut walleye fillets into 1/2" strips, soak in the juice of 1 fresh lime for 1 hour

- while fish is marinating, mix up your different toppings and sides, for the sour creme topping I used 4oz of sour creme, 2 oz. of mayo a good heap of fresh cilantro and a tablespoon or two of taco seasoning, mix up thoroughly and set in fridge

- I also made up fresh pico de galo (sp?) tomatoes, peppers, onions all fresh from the garden, lime juice, cilantro, garlic and salt and pepper

For side dishes we made pineapple cole slaw and a black bean salad and fresh cukes/onions/oil from the garden

Then I took fresh tortilla shells and fried them and made them into taco shells

I took the fish out of the lime juice and seasoned liberally with taco seasoning and essence and fried in a hot pepper infused olive oil till golden. Squeeze half a lemmon over the fish when finished

Put a few pieces of fish in a shell, top with some cheddar cheese and whatever topping(s) you like. We had shredded lettuce, shredded cabbage, pico, sour creme mix, tomatoes and red onions, salsa and even the slaw on top tasted good!

They were phenomenal! I kept making them and my wife said "how are we going to get rid of all those?" I think I cooked up 48 of them... well we didn't need to worry about left overs! It looked like a storm hit the serving table! They were a hit. My neighbors are all wanting to donate fish again for a repeat over labor day... but I may have something else in store...

Batter the fish in corn flour and deep fry.

Take a fry pan and a packet of taco seasoning, add the necessary water to the seasoning and get it simmering, then add some green peppers, onions, and a can of Southwest Corn mix(it has red peppers, black beans and corn). mix all of that up and then add your fish. Let it simmer in the sauce for a while and your done.

Serve on you favorite tortilla and favorite taco topping, and prepare to get FAT!

Labs, that sounded excellent!!!!!!!

Here is reciepe that I have copied from the startrib. It is spicy as my family and I have tried. If you do not like spicy then I would go lightly on the chipotle chile in adobo sauce and also go lighter on the pepper and chili powder on the fish. I thought this was a good reciepe.

If you have not had fish tacos before, you have to make them, it is good change as fish meal!

Great recipes. I've got to try them. I've always struggled with the white sauce so I'll give these a try. Sometimes I add that green Tabasco sauce on my fish tacos. Adds a good flavor to them.
