Thread: Fish tacos

I have eat fresh water drum since I was a kid. When they would run the banks in the fall, everyone loaded up and went to the river. I remember washtubs full of drum, and everyone scraping scales and making a helluva a mess. The meat was chopped and seasoned, then made into patties, fried in skillets, and put up in jars covered with oil. Poor man's salmon pattie. We ate on 'em all winter with gravy and biscuits. Canned mackerel became available for about 9 cents a can, and ended our canning drums. I still harvest a few each winter to grill. Don't want to get too far from my raisin'.

California Style Fish Tacos

A whole or strip of fillet, battered and deep fried.

My chile relleno batter is really good for them and easy to make.
6 egg whites whipped till stiff, then whisk in the yolks.

Dredge fish in flour then in batter, deep fry well done.
stuff into a softly deep fried corn tortillas and top with my Mexican slaw.
Other good stuff to put on them:
Hot sauce
Salsa
Pico de gallo
Guacamole
Onions
Cilantro
chiles

Mexican Slaw
lightly saute some minced onion and chiles
add equal parts sour cream and cream cheese
slow simmer for 10 minutes while stirring constantly
salt to taste
add to shredded cabbage

Fried flounder, fresh pico de gallo, and a little siracha mayo. Really good.

Man, that's a good looking burrito... But it ain't no taco.
Do need to cook that flour tortilla a bit though.
