Fish Tacos

     I had never eaten fish tacos until a trip to Healdsburg, California, a little over a year ago.  Yes, I know... it's hard to believe (should I even admit to it?).  My daughter and I found a little Mexican restaurant right in the heart of Healdsburg where we ended up for lunch every day of our stay in that sweet town. 
     Now, whenever I'm at a restaurant that has fish tacos on the menu, I will most likely try them.  None, however, seem to hold a candle to the tacos I ate in Healdsburg, forcing me to start making my own.  This was my latest attempt.  My family loved them and I thought they were pretty darn good.

                                  Fish Tacos

                                 +  an adapted recipe from Simply Recipes  +

• 1 pound fish fillets (recipe recommends hailbut -- I used tilapia)
• Salt & pepper
• Olive oil
* 12 corn tortillas (3 per person)
• Salsa (I used a purchased Mango Salsa)
• 2 ripe avocados
• Red cabbage, thinly sliced -- about 3 cups
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• Salt
• Diced tomatoes
• Lime wedges
1.  In a bowl, combine cabbage and vinegar.  Add salt to taste, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon.   Slice or cubes avocados; drizzle with lime juice and set aside.
2.  To warm corn tortillas:  Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Add a tortilla and heat until air pockets form; flip tortilla and heat the other side.  Remove onto a plate and quickly fold tortilla.  Repeat with the other tortillas. 
3.  Salt and pepper the fish.  Heat some olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the fish and cook until just cooked through.  Do not over-cook.
4. Assemble tacos with cabbage, avocados, salsa, fish, dice tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime juice.

In the summer I make these with leftover flaked halibut, salmon or dungeness crab, and dollops of homemade salsa verde. Love the fish taco--quick, easy, delicious and the best catch for dinner.
