The Best Fish Tacos

[@nataliaminnigalimova7582]

Thank you so much for your perfect recipe. My husband, who partly works in Los Angeles, asked me for fish tacos. I've tried to cook them here in Russia as you recommended and it works!

[@imapip6313]

I made this for dinner this evening with the cilantro. My husband is a picky eater and mostly is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. When I took one of these for him to eat he gave me a look and said “plain Food, your always trying to feed me something different “ I asked him to just taste it and I had plain fish if he didn’t like it. HE LOVED THE FISH TACOS!!! Alto he didn’t want the sour cream on them he did top them with Dear Candy (sweet pickled jalapeños) YUMMY they were delicious and he would eat them again😁 Thx and keep the videos coming

[@jeffreybundy4095]

I had a friend named Ali when I lived on Maui in a town named kehei in2010 to 2011. A week before I left we went drinking and she introduced me to fish tacos. I didn't want to love them but I did. I'm grateful. When done properly they're fantastic. Thanks preppy. And thank you Ali. If your watching I never forgot you.

[@borisprotich9453]

Just made this for Valentine's Day Dinner. This guys knows what he's talking about. The only difference was that I just mixed in the radishes with the mixture and added crumbled feta cheese on top of the tacos. Otherwise great recipe. Roasting the tacos on the open flame was a nice touch too. Turned out awesome.

John, fav Cole slaw dressing as a side for fried fish or oysters... 1 head of green cabbage to 1/2 head red cabbage (shredded); 1 bottle of Kraft Coleslaw Dressing, small can (or 1 cup) of pineapple chunks (or more to taste), 3/4 - 1 cup dark raisins, S & P to taste. Marinate in fridge a couple of hours. That's it! Enjoy and you're welcome! Huge fan here. Rick

[@glendareneeaguilar6442]

In Guatemala we make something similar to a Pico de Gallo, it’s called chirmol. We grill the tomatoes, so that it chars and able to peel the skin off. Chop onions, Yerba buena, jalapeño or Serrano and let them sit in lime juice, while you char the tomatoes. Once the tomatoes are done, you peel the skin, chop, and throw them in with the rest of the ingredients. Mix and add salt to taste

[@Charlie_Toben]

Thanks for this. I get an upset stomach when eating avocados so this recipe without the avocado is perfect for me. You have a great speaking voice and personality.

This guy is normal. I like it. He doesnt care if there is an ingredient that still isnt ripe, and then he improvises from it. Very good. And im making this recipe 2moro. Thank you so much!

[@MistressQueenBee]

The absolute funniest line I have heard on youtube, "looks like a little shop of horror". A garden fresh cabbage. I love them, I grow red cabb, and will never think on them again without Johns' hysterical line of commentary. MORE BRILLIANT MEXICAN RECIPES LIKE THIS, PLEASE. Keep rocking that cilantro. I could eat cabb and cilantro 24-7, and yes, at 66 I have learned that the world is equality divided amongst "soap" (common description) haters and lovers. Ask your mom!

[@denisse010188]

The fact that you heated the tortilla straight on the grate made this very authentic 😂

[@TAG77]

Red onions always work super well with all Mexican dishes and salsa! Too many use white onions or yellow onions and they’re too juicy and less sweet to the point that the dishes taste mainly of strong onions and all herbs and flavors are over powered. Then they end up over spicing the food to compensate and it confused the palate. The best Mexican dishes are those that balance out the spices and don’t use too many. Red onions help you balance that out without having to use high sugars to balance out the flavors. Red onions balance that out with the little bit of sweetness it add. Then no sugar needs to be added. Just a splash of apple cider vinegar and lime with garlic salt really creates a balanced flavor. For more of a chili taste you can add pinches of cummin to taste. It’s great for tacos. I’m so glad you use red onions. It shows you know how to balance that wonderful Mexican taste out. As for to coleslaw add a teaspoon or so of ranch flavor with some freshly homemade bacon bits and a nut like sunflowers with the normal citrus flavoring with slaw. Add a hint of horseradish it the slaw and no vinegar. All plants soak up vinegar way more than anything else. This is why plain white vinegar is a good way to kill weeds in your yard. It doesn’t pickle with cabbage like it dies on other things. It cancels out other flavors. So use your citrus dressing with a table spoon of ranch dressing. Then all more crunch with a meaty flavor with finely chopped almond or with sunflowers. I also all fresh finely diced make and that helps a lot. Broccoli in a slaw is good, but raw finely chopped kale really balances out the tardiness of the slaw and makes it more manageable for those that don’t like slaw normally. I have a lot of ppl over that don’t like slaw, but with that bit of ranch dressing in it they love it and eat it up.

[@onepinkcookie]

I love that you do savory recipes as well :D fabulous as always, John! 😘

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

Okay these were a hit with my family ! Thanks !

[@birgitmitchell5873]

Red cabbage slaw: very thinly slice 1/2 Red cabbage, mince 1 small onion, add salt & pepper. Easiest made in a food processor. Mix in 3/4 cup mayo. Mix very well to get the mayo throughout. Great right away and better the next day.

[@karinaSm07]

For the sour cream... I chopped up chipotle in adobe and mix it together and let me tell you it was delicious!!

[@freitag314]

I followed your formula tonight...except with lingcod. My wife pulled the wrong fish out of the freezer, which is my fault because I didn't label after catching and packaging. It turned out fantastic! A great blend of flavors. I bailed on the single corn tortilla over flame, not because my fingers are heat sensitive, but because my first taco disintegrated before I could eat it. For me it worked better with two tortillas warmed in the microwave. A big shout-out to Westport Deep Sea Charters and the crew on "The Slammer" for making my first rockfish/lingcod fishing trip a huge success.

[@maclac48]

A recipe made & explained in a simple easy way. Not to mention that I DON’T have to “deep fry” the fish. It’s Monday 6/22/20 & I’ll be doin this here fish taco thing for my Sunday dinner! 6/28/20 (Lord willing) Thank U for sharing, peace & blessings to U & yours! 🙏🏿

[@desertratPS]

John, I’ve just discovered you and already am a huge fan. Great sense of humor, super natural in front of the camera, and, oh, did I mention seriously cute? Your hubby is a lucky guy.

[@MaizeANDBlue1957]

3:30 I used to be JUST LIKE you when it came to cleaning the 'stalks' out. But what I learned? The 'stalks' (or stems as they're rightly named)? Harbor the *MOST* taste! Chopped well with the leaves? You'll get the most out of this great plant.

[@rangoon639]

When you said your mom is from mexico, that explains why you have the best tres leches recipe I've seen online. These look so yummy too!

[@Heyhowaboutsomemoresalt]

Being from Hawai’i i was SOOOO happy seeing you use Mahi-Mahi❤️❤️ I like to make my fish marinade with shoyu(soy sauce) brown sugar and a little bit of sesame oil. It’s really good on tacos it’s a really different flavor more, sweet/savory but AMAZING🙌🏽

[@rachelrasmussen1101]

Okay, I had to do some substitutes (doterra Lime EO instead of lime juice and green cabbage, white onions, no cilantro BUT I did have avocado) but WOW! these were PERFECT! Very versatile

[@pgarwood]

Wow mega amounts of lime throughout the recipe! Love it along with cilantro. Yum-o! Too bad for cilantro haters. I feel sorry for them, I know they can’t help it. Thanks John.

[@londonguyinstockholm]

Is mayonnaise compulsory in coleslaw? I love to mix equal quantities of finely sliced red cabbage and grated carrot, then add diced red onion, raisins (I have probably lost you with that John!) - the raisins can be left out or even replaced with another dried fruit such as cranberry (if you like things a little tart) or chopped dried fig - a few toasted sesame seeds, and toss it in a simple olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. It's best left to sit a while before serving - overnight in the fridge does not harm it, though do take it out in advance of eating and give it another good mix before putting it on the table. For something a bit different add a few thinly sliced whole blanched brussel sprouts - they are tiny cabbages after all! And here's something that might interest and amuse you ... Did you know that the Swedish word for cabbage is 'kål' (pronounced 'cole'), and that 'slå' (pronounced 'slaw') is the verb to cut/reap? I like to think that the dish has Swedish roots! Fish tacos look great for the summer ... still a while I away here in Scandinavia! Thanks for your inspiration!

[@marianaz186]

Dang you have the mexican tortilla flipping skill! Just got to the point in video where you mentioned your mama is Mexican 😍🤗 no wonder! those real tacos! And talk of crema lol looooove it!

[@mynewlifebegins]

LOVE the sound effects! We eat keto at our house and do our fish tacos a little differently. First, grind up some pork rinds in the food processor until fine like bread crumbs. Then add a packet of fajita seasoning to the pork rinds. Brush the fish of your choice (we like haddock) with some avocado mayo and then dip in seasoned pork rinds and bake. Our tortillas are usually some type of lettuce or if we make them ourselves we use a combination of almond and coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder egg whites, salt and water. Put small balls of dough in a tortilla press to form tortillas. Then remove and cook as usual. Yummy. Although we're living a keto lifestyle, I still love to bake for others. Just made a Lemon Meringue Pie Cheesecake that was a huge hit. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and videos.

Fry your fish with higher heat temp to keep them from falling apart. I would usually heat my pan to the highest temp then lower it down as the fish fries.

@@PreppyKitchen my go to slaw is old school from my childhood...green cabbage, carrots, mayo to taste, I add black pepper and raisins (lots & lots...unless you're like my son & they gross you out).

[@didilarson1031]

You asked for ideas for Coleslaw, I make a really great Chinese Style Slaw with (angel hair cabbage slaw, or a mix of different cabbages) a bit of sesame oil, peanut butter blended with soy and Mirin rice wine vinegar, chopped peanuts and sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, shredded chicken (from a rotisserie chicken) and roasted salted peanuts chopped on top. Marinate the cabbage in the mixture of Mirin, Soy, Toasted Sesame Oil, and sometimes lime juice (optional) with the rest of the ingredients. You can add extra texture with carrots and radishes and then top with some fried noodles or chow mein style noodles. I sometimes make my own with toasted ramen.

[@frenchrulesall]

Pleaseeeeeee put the cilantro stalks in anything all of the cilantro flavor comes mainly from the stalk, also the more you chop up the stalks the more flavor will release you can tell when you’ve done it correctly when you smell the cilantro, do not leave the stalks out you truly don’t know what you’re missing my friend!
