[Bryce]

Was at Bayside on Minnetonka with my wife enjoying the sunset and had the above mentioned. Unbeliebably tasty. Come on CM, give us the skinny on your version. Will buy your book for this recipe alone.

Really Bryce...I'm happy you think so highly of me.

I could come up with my own version having not had it there.But my version would be along the lines of an enchilada.Not too many enjoy hot spicey fish!

If your really serious...i wouldn't mind trying to come up with my own version of either walleye taco or walleye enchiladas.

Let me know...

CM, when is your book coming out? I've seen enough of your recipes here on FM that I'd buy it! Always like to try new recipes, as long as they're not too complex and time consuming!

[CrappieMagnet]

not sure when...?It's time consuming and lately i haven't had the time with a busy work schedule.Alot of it also depends on how many requests i get for it.I don't want it to be just another recipe book,that sits on some rack not selling.There's actually alot of pros and cons with all of it.

I've gotten some support here,but not alot.
Lately i thought about just making a limited few for people that request it,so i don't have too make so many.Depending how that goes...i could always do more. well i'm rambling on...So it's really not a easy answer.

Later for now.....

Tacos:
1 pound white flaky fish, such as walleye
1/4 cup canola oil
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
8 flour tortillas

Garnish:
Shredded white cabbage
Hot sauce
Crema or sour cream
Thinly sliced red onion
Thinly sliced green onion
Chopped cilantro leaves
Pureed Tomato Salsa, recipe follows

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in a medium size dish. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, ancho, jalapeno, and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the fish from the marinade place onto a hot grill, flesh side down. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip for 30 seconds and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork.

Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for 20 seconds. Divide the fish among the tortillas and garnish with any or all of the garnishes.

Pureed Tomato Salsa:
2 tablespoon peanut oil
1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 serrano chile
1 jalapeno, sliced
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and pepper

Preheat grill or use side burners of the grill. Heat oil in medium saucepan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, serrano and jalapeno and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree the mixture with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Add the hot sauce, oregano, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
