Something new I'm doing this year is blogging some of our home made food triumps and failures. I love fish tacos and we had scored some awesome Mahi from the farmers market and decided to make our own take on fish tacos.
Over the years I have had dozens of differnt styles. The true classic is probably the baja california fish taco. but I have tried fish tacos all over the us from Cali, Seattle, Oregon, to North Carolina, Orlando, Miami, Key West. I had an amazing key west grouper fish taco but also a great cali fish taco. Some styles are grilled, some are fried.
So what did we do. We mixed it up and made a version all our own. Nick actually made it as I guided him through the world of fish tacos.
This is a Grilled Mahi Fish Taco with lettuce slaw, lime juice, skinny guacamole (meaning no sour cream), and shredded cheddar cheese. Also along for the ride is a wild rice.
The lettuce slaw was accidental we in haste had bought lettuce and not cabbage in a mad dash during the catering we did for new years. More on that later.
Accidents sometimes lead to culinary deliciousness.
I rather like fish tacos myself, but have not sampled anywhere near the variety you have.
I have been reading interesting books on the science of food. I should probably write a post about that. Maybe I'll crosspost it. I dunno. The schism in the Vox diaspora rolls on, I guess.
