Fish Tacos - Feast Your Eyes

by Nanette Maxim, Posted Aug 18th 2010 @ 10:00AM

The tortilla is one of Mexico's gifts to the world. And if you haven't stuffed a corn tortilla with deep-fried or grilled mahi mahi (or other mild fish) and a little pico de gallo, brother, you are hard pressed to call yourself a true taco eater. Throw in some cilantro, give it a squeeze of lime juice, and it's even better. (Get a recipe here.) Of course, if you want to keep going, shred some cabbage, slice an avocado and give the tacos a dollop of crema mexicana or sour cream. Sauteing the fish, instead of deep-frying, cuts the fat, as Kitchen Daily contributor Alexis Touchet does in this recipe.

Writer Calvin Trillin is a fish-taco man, and he found his bliss on a beach in Barbados (read his Gourmet story "The Frying Game" here).

Wahoo's Fish Tacos Turn 21

Wahoo's Fish Taco, the West Coast fast-food joint known both for its tacos and California surfer sensibility, celebrated its 20th anniversary in February with a party at its original Costa Mesa, Calif., restaurant. At the party they served 20-cent tacos and the first 200 guests won raffle prizes and an autograph session with professional skater Ryan Sheckler.

But the party isn't over yet. On Saturday, the company's beloved fish tacos will have their own 21st birthday shindig at all 38 California Wahoo's locations.

It's unclear what it means for a fish taco to turn 21, but customers who get free food and prizes, probably won't be complaining. (At 21, can fish tacos now finally be cooked with alcohol?)

The first 21 customers at each restaurant will get a swag box of prizes, including gifts from Tony Hawk Inc., the pro skateboarder's action-sports company. Everyone who eats at a California Wahoo's on Saturday will be rewarded with a free meal or gift card.
