The fish taco episode in Taco Chronicles II is a lot of fun + it is very good.
Do you want a traditional fish taco, or one of the more modern, gussied-up spins on it?
A traditional fish taco is really simple…corn tortilla, angle shark dipped in a tempura-style batter and deep fried. It is topped with shredded cabbage, “mayo” which is usually some variation on McCormick’s mayo + crema + lime juice, pico and salsa rojo. I prefer mahi or halibut for fish tacos as the flesh is firm and holds well as you eat it. Your mileage may vary.
There are, of course, a million on and one variations from that base. One of the taco joints featured in the taco chronicle episode is Taco Fish La Paz. They have a portable salad bar filled with toppings galore and on top of the salad bar is a small army of bottled taco sauces. I’ve eaten at the Taco Fish La Paz in Guadaluajara and it really was one of the best fish tacos ever, and probably the best shrimp taco I’ve ever eaten. Their salad bar contains the usual supsects like shredded cabbage and pico de gallo, but there were also chiles, cucumbers, hot carrots, a mango salsa and several other fresh salsas. They hand you the bare taco on a plate and you top it however you like.
