After visiting my sister a few times back when she lived in San Diego California, I developed a love for fish tacos. This was way back.. before fish tacos had become more or less mainstream fare you can find at almost any Rubio’s street corner dive. I remember that my first impression was of strange surprise when I first learned of them. Fish tacos after all don’t sound inherently delicious when you are first introduced to them. That is until you take your first bite.
The crunchy fried fish, the tangy sauce, lime juice, and cabbage.
From that point on, I’ve been hooked. I like to bring a little more spice to my version by adding a little chipotle to the sauce.
