Fish Tacos?

[hoggs222]

Anybody have any good recipes for some tasty fish tacos?

I've actually been playing with recipe's for the fish taco's for our new restaurant at Larsmont Cottages.

North Shore Fish Taco

A North Shore specialty! Two flour tortillas stuffed with beer battered Canadian Walleye, Sweet Cabbage, Avocado, Tomato Relish, and Shredded Cheddar. $9

Take fish chunks (we use walleye) and dip them in beer batter, (our beer batter is made with a South Shore Brewery Red Lager). Pan fry, dust with cumin & coriander and stuff in Grilled Flour Tortilla.

For the sweet cabbage I marinate julienned Napa Cabbage in Rice Wine Vinegar, sugar, and Mirin for at least 2 hours.

Slices of Avocado

Salsa made from grilled roma tomatoes, onion, lime, cilantro and tequila.

Top with cheese and enjoy!

Adjust recipe to taste.

Nice. Thanks for posting. I'm going to try that very soon.

Like the choice of beer too.

You can't beat South Shore! Bo brews up some great beers over there. The beer will soon be called Ledge Rock Red Lager, we are currently having logo's made up for South Shore to stick on our bottles.

Hey Chef,

I saw you talking about a Mexican restaurant on Leech. Are you taking over the current Mexican restaurant that is there? Our family comes up to Cass Lake for 2 weeks each year but we always plan a day trip to Walker. The women usually hit every store for some power shopping and the guys basically hit Reeds for a while and then it is straight to The Wharf for some ice cold PBR pitchers and popcorn or fried curds. We ate at the Mexican restaurant one year and it was pretty good. Let me know where you will be as my wife enjoys Mexican food and we may stop by to see you. Thanks, Windy

Due to the direction of the other post, I brought this ttt for you So Haad.

WCW, sorry I missed your post, the old restaurant Margarita Mulligans I don't beleive was ever a mexican restaurant. The new restaurant The BeachFire Grille was opened this past summer and has a little cajun flare mixed in with some classic midwest cooking.

You can view the menu here.

Not to steal this post, here is another fish taco recipie that I've used a few times... they turn out dynamite! I dug it up from an old post a couple years ago...

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...

Good Luck!

Good Luck!

Thanks Ken, I appreciate the recipe. These recipes might be enough to make me want to brave the cold this weekend.

Thanks for bringing this post ttt. I'll have to cook up some tacos as well. I like my tacos baja style; Tom's recipe here sounds like a winner!

A great sauce is to mix 50/50 plain Yogurt and Mayo. Add a little water to thin it up. Add some onion salt and finely chopped celontro (sp). to tast. You can also add some kick (hot pepper) if you want.
