Fish Taco Recipe?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Now they have an episode with Puffy Taco's as the signature dish. Gross. It sounds like slang for an std.

Bravo.

Whoa, mister! Do you have at least 18 graduate hours in thread evaluation? SACS won't accredit you without that many hours......so, you don't have the authority to dispense letter grades for posts. I recommend you give something else. Maybe stickers.

Dang! I shall retract the fraudulent grade and opt for the 5 pointed written star while refraining from the overlapping triangle 6 pointed variety. I wouldn't want to offend SU! I hear he likes his tacos puffy anyway.

Do you guys think a tempura batter would work well? I want something light, but will also crisp well.

Hey that sounds intriguing. Try the tempura and tell me how it goes.

I made these last night and they came out awesome.

However, I didn't use the tempura batter. I used this:

They have a recipe for a tempura batter by just mixing with club soda to make it more airy and light like you'd expect from tempura. Instead I just used cold water to mix it as I wanted something closer to what you'd get at Rubio's. This battered worked perfectly. As soon as I got home from work I mixed it to give it some time to sit. I put it on an ice bath to keep it cold. I sliced mahi mahi into 1-2" wide strips about 4" in length and patted the fillets dry. The battered fish came out awesome.

As to the white sauce, I mixed mayo and yogurt but it didn't quite have that tang I am used to with fish tacos so I incorporated some sour cream and the juice of one lime wedge. That seemed to be just fine. I shredded some cabbage and warmed some corn tortillas and that was that. I couldn't find any tomatillos, fresh or canned, at my grocery store and I didn't feel like traveling to another or else I would have made some green salsa to top with. But the white sauce and some lime sufficed.

I ate 4 plus a side of rice and black beans. Fitday is not my friend.

Pride of the West is the shiz. I good friend of mine in ID uses this batter often. He learned it from his fishing days in Alaska.
