You got to be kidding. Seriously? Fish taco's? About as appetizing as a peanut butter covered pork chop along with a tin cup of hot lard.
Fish Tacos YUM!
Standard fare in Baja. Southern California too.
Bluegill and Crappie make great fish tacos. Lightly battered and fried. Add a bit of finely shredded cabbage or lettuce, a light white sauce, a few drops of lime juice, some salsa and a bit of avocado and wrap in a soft corn tortilla. Or wrap in a flour tortilla for a burrito. Wash it down with some beer. I don't do well with fried stuff since I developed crohns disease, so I prefer my fish grilled. Hard to grill panfish unless they are fairly substantial in size but we do get some qualifying fish here in the 1-2 lb range.

I had my first fish taco a year and a half ago at the Paia Fish Market in Paia, Maui. That was the best tasting taco I have ever had. JC, if you are ever in Maui, give this place a try. You will love it!

Ok,,, first of all, there is no determinable difference between avocado and Irish Spring soap. None at all. To add the aroma of fish of any sort is an effrontery to the olfactory senses as well as the gut. Some things are best left 'un-fiddled with'. I like taco's. I know what a taco is. And stuffed with fish it ain't. I don't know what it is; but a taco it ain't.
Sorry guys, I gotta agree with JC. Fish Tacos???

Heh, opinion is divided on the fish tacos! I am a purist myself, being a big Tex-Mex gourmand. I suppose that they are a bit like Elk Hair Caddis, everyone has their own take on how they are supposed to be made.
But J.C., I'll take all those avocados offa your hands...
As for the bluegills, that is some kind os a sweet day on the water ain't it guys?!
I really want to try fish tacos, I've heard so much about them from several people, and despite the scathing review from my girlfriend who tried them in southern California (and soon after used them as an offering to the porcelain gods), I still think they'd be great...IF you like fish in the first place.
Stupid me, for some reason when I imagined fish tacos at first, somehow, I always imagined that it was raw fish...which kept me away. After trying (and loving) sushi, I'm kinda disappointed they DON'T use raw fish!
Fish tacos rock, they are one of my favorite foods ever. I have never tried blue gill but bass are great.
