How do you make a Fish Taco?

Answer 1

Ideally you used grilled or blackened fish. Pick a firm fish like red snapper. You can also used fried/battered fish, but that is the pathetic americanized way of doing thing. Rubio's serves them like that and claim they are straight out of Mexico. I have been to Mexico countless times and I have never had fried fish in my tacos. Throw it on some corn tortillas with lettuce or cabbage and some cheese. You can make different sauces for it, but it is best by going simple and using some good salsa.

Answer 2

there's a few different ways to make fish tacos.
1. the fish - use whole filets of some generic whitefish, you can either beer-batter and fry the fish, or just fry or grill the fish
2. put the fish in a corn tortilla. add cabbage. generally fish tacos done in the baja style use a mild cream-colored sauce.
3. top it to fit your style - some just eat fish tacos with just a little salsa on the cabbage/fish/white sauce, and others go all out with some cheese, chunks of tomatoes, etc.

here's a few recipes (see links)

Answer 3

Oh, ick! What a nasty idea! Seriously, you make 'em as you would any other taco. You can do quite nicely with salmon and trout. I've had one made with catfish, too, and though I much prefer chicken and beef tacos, it turned out pretty good. Guess I'm just a traditionalist at heart. But hey - fish is a lot better for ya than beef or pork, so I say Go For It! Don't forget the salad, either!

Answer 5

My favorite fish to use in a fish taco is tilapia, which you can dice and simmer in a bit of vegetable oil with your choice of spices or salsa. When it is cooked, set it aside to stuff the tacos with. Fish tacos usually are made with yellow corn tortillas (crispy or soft), shredded cabbage, the cooked tilapia meat, and onions or tomatoes. It is up to you what you put in them though. Enjoy!
