My advice is don't even try them. A recent road trip down highway 5 found us at a Jack-in-the-Box/Shell gas station combo joint. There usually isn't anything good to eat at "jack-in-the-crack", but a new item called a Fish Pita Snack caught my attention. I optimistically thought that it could satisfy my fish taco fetish even at a gas station. Boy was I wrong. It was definitely an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">un</span>-edible impostor.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqScWsdfIRRE1gxWCosH51mi0ewU0lGMSGrobeb39QgkCfNf2kdSoH5a-uLErk2uOM1-bDcETWY0pE88Y2W1kyanYShm1r-8TKkkQgMu3pWcHYBHnP1T9EVR2bXObcHk_9tXvbOQ9MJm_X/s1600-h/IMG_0174.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267151300706377826" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqScWsdfIRRE1gxWCosH51mi0ewU0lGMSGrobeb39QgkCfNf2kdSoH5a-uLErk2uOM1-bDcETWY0pE88Y2W1kyanYShm1r-8TKkkQgMu3pWcHYBHnP1T9EVR2bXObcHk_9tXvbOQ9MJm_X/s400/IMG_0174.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />380 calories and 19 grams of fat.

My first post.

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 <a href="http://www.locolizardcantina.com/">The Loco Lizard</a> 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.<br /></span>DC Unitedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00236084013708417614noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153078104854319708.post-22419849216569741992008-09-07T21:43:00.000-07:002008-09-07T22:08:13.173-07:00Fish Tacos- A Lesson in Versatility<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnJ_PqcBrtrmLmhGC7kEfgcJnFK4RrtKHytEj5v-RkBDZKYZ6kYaNEEAL0iyYD0V5FFjPbnWf3UWF9xLSye6ipk7JWTQ_bsluQZ4K-WkTJtArGSotxZRfyuewcEi3Q4RRGUCXk1SHTdUX/s1600-h/IMG_0119.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243506931044190146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnJ_PqcBrtrmLmhGC7kEfgcJnFK4RrtKHytEj5v-RkBDZKYZ6kYaNEEAL0iyYD0V5FFjPbnWf3UWF9xLSye6ipk7JWTQ_bsluQZ4K-WkTJtArGSotxZRfyuewcEi3Q4RRGUCXk1SHTdUX/s320/IMG_0119.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>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: </div><div></div><br /><div><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;">Fish Tacos may be the most versatile food in the world.</span></em></div><div></div><br /><div>This lesson was learned at the <a href="http://www.crepevine.com/">Crepe Vine </a>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.<br /></div><div>So, lesson learned. You can pair a good fish taco with anything.

It is literally a beach side stand with a small alcove for tables and chairs along a narrow road south of Wailea almost to Secret Cove. If you go, you will likely meet the owner Marisa, who is famed as one of the best chefs on the island. She serves fresh catch of the day. The day we went we happenned to get sword fish. It is just what you would expect on an island paradise- totally chill roadside bbq stand, swimsuits, plastic furniture, grill smoke filterring up through the palm leaves.<br /><br />THIS IS A GOOD FISH TACO<br />Its all in the fish. The fish is smoky, the salsa is mango based, very fruity and tangy. All fresh made, all legit. Garnished with cheeze and cabbage. WOW! Huge chunks of fish! DO NOT GO TO MAUI AND MISS THIS. Forget the road to Hana, the road to secret cove will rock your world!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_R7DDLQaBexGLtVAvg9CHr4r9R-TLk7zOLXXP65OnDJYPXqjMDxHqFL40zxhXGpq-0pd8jA82bKebWn0ZpBmKds1Hpz9DoJ3kPAbzJG1454suG0Lj2wmU4kvkhumWiXKGZqprHLYpJE/s1600-h/taco13.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_R7DDLQaBexGLtVAvg9CHr4r9R-TLk7zOLXXP65OnDJYPXqjMDxHqFL40zxhXGpq-0pd8jA82bKebWn0ZpBmKds1Hpz9DoJ3kPAbzJG1454suG0Lj2wmU4kvkhumWiXKGZqprHLYpJE/s320/taco13.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226843215476676146" /></a>Andrew & Holly Larsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14760925894923925766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153078104854319708.post-38313696229808660092008-07-24T23:02:00.000-07:002008-07-24T23:30:29.814-07:00HOME-MADE BBQ SALMON TACOS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg805jZwcZDCOCd3BA9axbLnJ5GkxdM9iwmlM-HgGlJA4_Wk6j1eQzViNoh6LCkbAe07yRsbJen0Gl-0wDRzZJYf6XZugB_EKEqHCIgS6uEhvn_OI98JOHKNcUotVPQtBLV7_EkLZjMiZw/s1600-h/taco3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg805jZwcZDCOCd3BA9axbLnJ5GkxdM9iwmlM-HgGlJA4_Wk6j1eQzViNoh6LCkbAe07yRsbJen0Gl-0wDRzZJYf6XZugB_EKEqHCIgS6uEhvn_OI98JOHKNcUotVPQtBLV7_EkLZjMiZw/s320/taco3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226834056757446322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSSgdkkY_bXhPqYYy9zptEc8ewsE9-hThQhaHhfNd-uzkwnR5NlVSjxuyBOI1py1yAxT1Awa-8JiNbcPnnpY9PPxZgU9Q96xA3SjtpkMUCCnqiDru0LeSjHQ9F6f9TTHJPgQxucbweWCA/s1600-h/taco4.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSSgdkkY_bXhPqYYy9zptEc8ewsE9-hThQhaHhfNd-uzkwnR5NlVSjxuyBOI1py1yAxT1Awa-8JiNbcPnnpY9PPxZgU9Q96xA3SjtpkMUCCnqiDru0LeSjHQ9F6f9TTHJPgQxucbweWCA/s320/taco4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226833366930302322" /></a><br />Attention Fish Taco Fans-<br /><br /><strong>This blog is not only for the fish taco out.

Now, everyone must understand that Squatters Brewery makes an amazing fish taco on a normal day, so a salmon taco for funzies is a real treat. I'll write about the seared ahi tuna tacos with the creamy wasabi sauce another time (WHAT! AMAZING!!)<br /><br />These salmon tacos were great. You can tell they take pride and time in plating a tasty taco of the sea. 2 sauces- 1 verde salsa, 1 spicy ranch. Crunchy chunky cabbage, a side of creamy black beans and rice and its complete. This isnt a mexican restaurant but worth the visit. Locations in Salt Lake City and Park City.

Per Beeper, there is a "fiesta of flavors" in every bite! I think I enjoyed it as much as the locals. <br />Maybe it was because they wanted a good review from Fish Taco Magazine when we walked in, but I have a feeling that every dish is created with sophisticated flavors and attention to detail. I'll have to go back under-cover to find out. <br /><br />They surprised me with the use of red snapper in the taco.

I was on assignment at Chevy's tonight. I guess corporate thought that it was time to go after one of the big chains to see what kind of fish taco they can produce. <br /><br />I have to say, it was a decent meal. As all of my readers know, I am anti-chain restaurants and I try to avoid them whenever possible. So, as a self-proclaimed food critic, I have very low expectations when dining at a large chain like Chevy's. I figure it has to be pretty bad food to disappoint if you go in with low expectations. Perhaps that is why I was satisfied with their fish tacos tonight. They weren't special, but when you need to wraps your lips around a fish taco and you can only find a local Chevy's, fear not- your cravings will be satisfied. A few points of interest:<br />-flour tortillas. They didn't offend me, but the flavor of maze was definitely missing.<br />-grilled salmon. This was my first fish taco made with salmon. Not bad, but definitely less Mex and more Tex tasting.<br /><br />My advice: squeeze that lime juice onto the fish and smother in salsa for a more Mexican experience.~home bodies~http://www.blogger.com/profile/00922845715614235987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153078104854319708.post-53654631318032183502008-05-05T20:43:00.000-07:002008-05-05T20:59:54.463-07:00Cinco de Mayo Fish Tacos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNv2rAhzltDtOzemYzbzfIm8c7QGMY6W1rkZml2vVNy97ZPP64anwBmyNslm_tL7k3tH-hljnDp3W6e8dXW3HCjJYP0oRTIp5iphsqL_K7ryqskEP8S-VFgxzMRoJZMQISkBAXOVHK90Z/s1600-h/IMG_0085.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNv2rAhzltDtOzemYzbzfIm8c7QGMY6W1rkZml2vVNy97ZPP64anwBmyNslm_tL7k3tH-hljnDp3W6e8dXW3HCjJYP0oRTIp5iphsqL_K7ryqskEP8S-VFgxzMRoJZMQISkBAXOVHK90Z/s400/IMG_0085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197109039491837138" /></a><br />In celebration of Cinco de Mayo this year, we joined the throngs during happy hour at <a href="http://www.elbalazo.net/index.asp">El Balazo</a> in San Ramon, California. Since El Balazo is a legendary favorite for their super-burritos, I had high expectations for their fish tacos. The beauty of El Balazo is their simple yet unmistakably fresh and authentic mexican flavor- right off of the grill. So, imagine this:<br />-fluffy, flaky chunks of breaded halibut<br />-soft and warm corn tortillas<br />-tangy cabbage salad<br />-fresh, fragrant onions and cilantro<br />-served with hot mexican rice and black beans<br /><br />No fancy sauces, no frills, just pure mexican flavors. A very satisfying fish taco.~home bodies~http://www.blogger.com/profile/00922845715614235987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153078104854319708.post-55042435329180528042008-04-29T23:20:00.000-07:002008-04-29T23:39:30.002-07:00Mexico and the Gourmet Fish Taco<div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4mmIyuyBc4Mu6bECs3AN6u2TENJvjNTwx_va43DeCFBrywvzhbGyymzMnSDySGqtMppHa1PCBAb8W9BSQehSy2h8weitQe2YiNVa2GKKknd5FvyQA9doe58-bUWvX7ECVPFQZFmU4XB0/s1600-h/DSC00139.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194921266894824914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4mmIyuyBc4Mu6bECs3AN6u2TENJvjNTwx_va43DeCFBrywvzhbGyymzMnSDySGqtMppHa1PCBAb8W9BSQehSy2h8weitQe2YiNVa2GKKknd5FvyQA9doe58-bUWvX7ECVPFQZFmU4XB0/s320/DSC00139.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWDVrkSmfmbQJdD6twOiUlGoZTRjcmJT-2Q2dPDyXuNIgfCxyrXryNLb5MAfWsjTABuQ3deD9-uStsGgyHr9yWRUHZpJ8CFB0V50noZKGHLe1Xx2McH7cbqH6IQ07Y1EXWqjoQPOsOAA0/s1600-h/DSC00135.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194921696391554530" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWDVrkSmfmbQJdD6twOiUlGoZTRjcmJT-2Q2dPDyXuNIgfCxyrXryNLb5MAfWsjTABuQ3deD9-uStsGgyHr9yWRUHZpJ8CFB0V50noZKGHLe1Xx2McH7cbqH6IQ07Y1EXWqjoQPOsOAA0/s320/DSC00135.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div align="center"><br />This is what im talking about- fresh from the pacific ocean and a gourmet twist, ocean side dining WOW.

Well, im glad to report that my trip to Baja was a success. I believe that i barely scratched the surface in my research... but this first trip was amazing. I spent 5 days asking everyone- locals, gringos, surfers, street vendors, hotel staff, drunken entertainers, everyone... to find the best fish taco. Everyone had ideas, these are the two id like to review. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCprncxmhBEPyInzVRcMJEPsKdlil1RSH32ojGSZTKzt59nH4UsMOisdZ62EozZR5yv-7MHLRATeCTkc6KMwsLe8HkhqsNC1-WrDmcljboTw_JYSLjMOynW5WNcLE0YvEBohmuxCKlkgc/s1600-h/DSC00112.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194917852395824530" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCprncxmhBEPyInzVRcMJEPsKdlil1RSH32ojGSZTKzt59nH4UsMOisdZ62EozZR5yv-7MHLRATeCTkc6KMwsLe8HkhqsNC1-WrDmcljboTw_JYSLjMOynW5WNcLE0YvEBohmuxCKlkgc/s200/DSC00112.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Note: We were near Cabo San Lucas- Mexico is a large country, it will take a lifetime of research to find the perfect one.</div></div><div><br /><div>The good folks of Cabo Mama have a unique spin on the fish taco- this is a concept that i hope comes to the US and Soon!! </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-dCzTXzY2Ao-5XHd9okdhqA9aPGpG0fp0TNENUgp4U31vYhPY58-ANejPS7fBXfGjd39mfQW6jwS6TGHi8MwW75ojheAXiEHAUbkQbwK-GTwOIxx1iwmQRaAcer7gOZdE-ZHuOiz2CkY/s1600-h/DSC00103.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194914669825058130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-dCzTXzY2Ao-5XHd9okdhqA9aPGpG0fp0TNENUgp4U31vYhPY58-ANejPS7fBXfGjd39mfQW6jwS6TGHi8MwW75ojheAXiEHAUbkQbwK-GTwOIxx1iwmQRaAcer7gOZdE-ZHuOiz2CkY/s200/DSC00103.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>First: Order youre fish taco, out comes a filet on a tortilla- plain and simple.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDg3pN8qRws4GOB7RXiqNgXJuBKniAQ61x8KCccLMclUAvnyhPdeUr-qtD9w3oWqJNaUGHpJbIhkM95bH3knMjr5vqJ8WoPINb1nkrX1xh7iM8BIvP_F5CI6X1E-U7Genk3dWisZQ4RxU/s1600-h/DSC00106.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194915644782634338" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDg3pN8qRws4GOB7RXiqNgXJuBKniAQ61x8KCccLMclUAvnyhPdeUr-qtD9w3oWqJNaUGHpJbIhkM95bH3knMjr5vqJ8WoPINb1nkrX1xh7iM8BIvP_F5CI6X1E-U7Genk3dWisZQ4RxU/s200/DSC00106.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Second: take it to a dressing bar- like a salsa bar with all the fixings, and dress your fish taco any way you like it.

The question is, should you take the risk, well as it turns out Red Robin is worth the risk. I was pleasantly surprised by these tacos. The fish was crisp and the toppings fresh, even the side of black beans were pretty good. The only thing in question is why is there white rice on the side?D and J Larsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10041940337090021079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153078104854319708.post-4291760012840807282008-04-29T21:48:00.000-07:002008-04-29T21:58:44.569-07:00Provo Legend - Tacos not Legendary<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8xlReVBg6x6TaRgejeP1S0FrLwZnn-VnY1sdIcgh7EzMbLP572A9CjO5Ek5vcLXuY2ncLXaZbTuXK9_FwCo8MDdR6P6le-Jkt8keKYES16KsmjCu4vmn8hfQRaVk0OsAcCmKyfCMUPwck/s1600-h/IMG_0056.JPG"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8xlReVBg6x6TaRgejeP1S0FrLwZnn-VnY1sdIcgh7EzMbLP572A9CjO5Ek5vcLXuY2ncLXaZbTuXK9_FwCo8MDdR6P6le-Jkt8keKYES16KsmjCu4vmn8hfQRaVk0OsAcCmKyfCMUPwck/s400/IMG_0056.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194896240617982546" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">Magelby's Grill & Oyster Bar in Provo, Utah is one of the nicer restaurants around where I consistently have a great eating experience...

Tonight I dined at El Nido in Danville, California and I was pleased to see that FISH TACOS's were the special with rice and beans, and only $11.00 for the plate (usually $13.50). Perfect- an opportunity to explore yet another fish taco! The excitement only lasted for a few moments when I opened the menu and found that these fish tacos were made of grilled sea bass. The amature fish taco eater may have found this choice of fish intriguing, but I'm not a fan of sea bass and any expert knows that it does NOT belong in a fish taco. Anyway, I ordered the entre and this is what I got:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqopgBYjD3aHwCv_hlQlY83TNu07DjPonS8MY1N_OMXc6a-9QbSLfylrvzAi5UmyjDkqehW3zp5DJifDT8Cc-RZtk5gI3XiKqDbNV1j3OdejbcxtKKergZ-eqDdfE6tjS3HnUXQqqDyOgm/s1600-h/IMG_0071.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqopgBYjD3aHwCv_hlQlY83TNu07DjPonS8MY1N_OMXc6a-9QbSLfylrvzAi5UmyjDkqehW3zp5DJifDT8Cc-RZtk5gI3XiKqDbNV1j3OdejbcxtKKergZ-eqDdfE6tjS3HnUXQqqDyOgm/s400/IMG_0071.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187843617198747970" /></a><br /><br />The only plus to this plate was that it was hot and I like my food piping hot. Besides the clear lack of plating skills, there were several mistakes made... First of all, there were no crunchies. Give me cabbage or give me lettuce but you have to have something crunchy on fish tacos! Secondly, the sea bass was terrible as I suspected- I even told my waiter that there was something wrong with it. It had a pretty nasty over cooked and not fresh flavor to it. I guess I made a big enough fuss about it- when I was walking out of the restaurant, I noticed that the FISH TACO special had changed to STEAK TACO special. A big thumbs down for El Nido. Sorry, but I'm not going back.~home bodies~http://www.blogger.com/profile/00922845715614235987noreply@blogger.com3
