New Taco Joint

**Abe Drinkin** · 06-05-2006, 02:44 PM

Has anybody heard anything about a new Fish Taco Place coming to Greyton?

**Lady D** · 06-05-2006, 02:53 PM

Tacos sound good, but fish tacos! Yuck!

**Sheila** · 06-05-2006, 02:56 PM

Fish Tacos are one of my favorites.

Mmmmmmm good!

**mahthamadear** · 06-05-2006, 03:35 PM

**Gypsea** · 06-05-2006, 04:43 PM

I hope its true. I

fish tacos!

**pgurney** · 06-05-2006, 05:23 PM

I heard Cowgirl Kitchen was going to start serving fish tacos. One of my favs!

**Lady D** · 06-05-2006, 05:28 PM

Me thinks they meant Grayton! Sorry, my tacos have to have chicken or beef.

I used to think that too. When I first heard of fish tacos I had a

reaction. But once you try them you're hooked! You should try.

**Lady D** · 06-05-2006, 05:34 PM

Wouldn't even know how fish tacos taste. If it is raw, like sushi, I can tell you I couldn't eat it.

**Smiling JOe** · 06-05-2006, 05:35 PM

I have been sampling Abe Drinkin's fish and shrimp tacos for the last three days. They are the first I have eaten and I cannot stop.

Delicious! They are not what you think of as traditional tacos replacing the meat with fish. They are quite unique and awesome.

**Lady D** · 06-05-2006, 05:36 PM

I think I will pass! What all do they put on them by the way? Normal tacos have shredded lettuce and cheese and diced tomatoes.

The fish was grilled and the shrimp were boiled, but sushi also would be delicious in these tacos.

My favorites are from Sundown Cafe in Atlanta....now Sundown Tacqueria. I first had them at Sundown about 10 years ago. They were fried strips of tilapia with a special jalapeno (mild) sauce in a soft flour tortilla. I've also had them in other places with grilled tilapia, lettuce, tomatoes and the works. Both very good. I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

We need a place down there with fish tacos.

That is similar to Cowgirl Kitchen's type. I have had them and they were yummy. They are only offered now and then as a special as far as I know.

There was a bowl of Paella on the beach with your name on it last night.

I didn't get your message until I left the beach last night around 10:30pm. Wish you could have made it. Still have a bowl of Paella with your name on it if you want it.

Apparently, my coverage was good, I just left the phone in the car.

Ok guys, since we are on the subject of tacos and Mexican food. I am going out to eat Thursday night at a Mexican place here called On the Border. I am eyeballing several things on the menu, but one caught my eye for sure. The Monterey Ranch Chicken Fajitas, with Mesquite grilled chicken, ranch dressing, melted pepper jack cheese, or the Ranchiladas consisting of a fajita steak topped with ranchero sauce and jack cheese, plus two cheese and onion enchiladas, the Fajita Steak or Chicken Quesadilla. And guess what, they serve fish tacos! But it is beer battered fish, with chipotle sauce, shredded cabbage, cheese and pico de gallo. Any opinions of what sounds best. I like the battered fish at Captain D's but still the fish taco thing does not sound appetizing!

Guess you'll never know if you don't try it.

Over to the west in the place many of y'all won't venture, I've had fried fish tacos at Bluepoint Fish Club, and grilled fish tacos at La Paz. They're usually served with pico de gallo or a cabbage slaw instead of lettuce, and have been very tasty.

**Jdarg** · 06-06-2006, 06:47 PM

Fish tacos are on my eating wish list for next week!

**Gypsea** · 06-06-2006, 07:17 PM

Here is a recipe for beer battered fish tacos with a good white sauce and cabbage. I prefer grilling the fish instead and picking up specialty tortillas at Whole Foods such as red pepper tortillas. Top it off with a Margarita!

Fish Tacos

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 T. cornstarch
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
1 cup beer

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayo
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 t. minced capers
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. dried dill
1 t. ground cayenne

1 quart oil for frying
1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2 to 3 oz. portions
1 (12 oz.) package corn tortillas
1/2 medium head cabbage, finely shredded

Directions:

1. Beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture (don't worry about a few lumps).

2. White sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayo. Gradually stir in lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne.

3. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.

4. Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry
until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas; not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, and white sauce.

Margaritas

Ingredients

1 lime, halved
Coarse salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 4 limes
1 T. sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1 cup Gold tequila
Ice

Directions

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of four big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.

Combine the lime juice, sugar, Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 saconds, and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice.

Enjoy!!!
