pink sauce in fish tacos?

Question

how do you make that pink sauce you get at restaruants with fish tacos? also any good fish taco recipes that go along w/ it?

Answer 1

The sauce you're referring to is called a Remoulade Sauce. You can buy it at some supermarkets in the seafood section. Here's one recipe for that's pretty good:

Remoulade

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 stalk finely chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Whisk together all ingredients, let set in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours to combine flavors.


Try this fish tacos recipe:

1 lb catfish nuggets or other white fish, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup beer
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons chicken taco seasoning mix
1/2 bunch cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chicken taco seasoning mix (optional)
vegetable oil, for deep fat frying
12 corn tortillas
Garnishes
finely shredded cabbage
chopped tomatoes
lime wedges
finely chopped onions or scallions
chopped cilantro

Whisk together the flour, beer, and taco seasoning mix.
Wash catfish nuggets and pat dry with paper toweling.
In a food processor or blender, process for a few seconds sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and additional taco seasoning mix to taste.
You don't want to totally liquify the cilantro.
Prepare garnishes as you heat about 1/2" of oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan to 360F.
Dip fish nuggets into batter and place in hot oil with a fork.
Turn once after about 1 minute and brown the other side for another minute.
Do this in batches.
Don't crowd the fish.
Drain on paper toweling and keep warm in a 200F oven until ready to serve.
Heat tortillas in foil in the oven or nuke them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.

Grab some good quality cocktail sauce(that you'd use for shrimp), add some mayo, mix, serve on your taco...
