We made these Crab Tacos the other night and they were awesome! The only hard part was cracking all that dungeness crab without eating it all right then.:drool:
I think I will try that tequila/avocado mix tonight, the wife made a big pot of beans yesterday, so that should go perfect with that.

If you have a Moe's close by, you should be able to pick up some fish tacos there. They may not be the best but they are still better than tacos with ground beef in them. My first try at them was in Hilton Head at Salty Dogs, they were ok. I had some in Carrizozo (sp?) NM while on a MC trip and they were pretty good. I also had some in Big Sur on the same trip and they were good as well, a little fancy but good. Thing is, I don't really care for fish or seafood for that matter but fish tacos are the bomb.

For you Dallasites, Margarita Ranch at Mockingbird Station (75 and Mockingbird) makes some very tasty Grilled Tuna Tacos.

El Gringo Spectacular!
Hmm...in Central Florida...here's how you get 'em.
...Load up the family, significant other, or just your own self and head to the downtown "hispanic" area...most places have 'em...
Then drive around, looking at the open air food stands for one that advertises, usually on poster board in marker...tacos de pescado, tacos de camaron, or "mariscos".
Stop the truck...saunter up to the stools or benches...and repeat after me:
"Quisiera dos tacos de (pescado for fish, camaron for shrimp), y una Coca Cola, por favor."
You maybe asked "Harina o Maiz?"....That's flour or corn tortillas...your choice...
Likely, there will be fresh onion, cilantro, cucumbers and the like sliced up and in a tray....don't be fearful...it's all good!
You'll get to watch the tacos, and likely the tortillas, being made before your eyes!
MMMMM....that's good eatin'.... :costumed-smiley-007

I like to use cod, but tilapia or any whiefish will work
I am a batterin guy.
1 cup flour
1 cup mexican beer
garlic powder (1 tsp)
Black pepper to taste
Mix it up, batter the fish and fry.
Cabbage, pico, cilanto, lime for the garnish
all thrown on a corn tortilla. I like to throw my tortillas on the grill for a 45 seconds on each side, just enough to warm them up.

I'd like to commend this forum
and the contributors to this thread for the complete and total lack of jokes regarding fish tacos (not to be confused with bald tacos)! I'll admit that I may be a bit disappointed that not a single good joke crept in, but nonetheless, nice job and thanks for the recipes! :26_7_2:
