My Ode to Fish Tacos


Finally! My first post. After all this time, I have a reason to share with the world my affinity for the tastiest of tacos.

I'm no expert, nor a connoisseur...just a lover (definitely not a fighter). Thanks go out to Andrew, my mentor, for the chance to partake in such divine nectar of the Gods (sorry Dre that it took so long to post). We patronized The Loco Lizard in Park City after a day of pious worshiping in the Church of Surf. Tired, sun-baked and starving, I watched as the waiter (who didn't deserve any amount of tip, let alone the 20% that he automatically charged us) brought out a beautiful dish, the likes of which I had never before seen. Black beans, rice and deep fried, flaky halibut served over cabbage and flour tortillas. This, avid readers, was a meal over which to savor and pontificate. A little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it. I would recommend it to any true advocate of the F.T.

Fish Tacos- A Lesson in Versatility


I learned a life lesson about fish tacos recently that I would like to share with the readers of Fish Taco Magazine, and it is this:

Fish Tacos may be the most versatile food in the world.

This lesson was learned at the Crepe Vine in Berkeley, CA where I found fish tacos on the menu. They demonstrated the versatility of fish tacos, as you can see in this picture. They were served with cesar salad and skillet potatoes of all things. The tacos themselves were delightfully well appointed and flavorful. Pairing them with the salad and potatoes rather than rice and beans only enhanced the mexican flavors of the tacos. Truly a delightful eating experience.
So, lesson learned. You can pair a good fish taco with anything. Try it for yourself.
