Fish Tacos

Ingredients:
Shig Kondo with a string of Reds!
1 lb. white fish (rock cod, orange roughy, etc.)
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 cups medium salsa
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
5 green onions, chopped
2 Hass avocados
1 dozen corn tortillas
Garlic Salt
Salt & Pepper
Vegetable oil


Preparation:
Salt and pepper the fish and cook in non-stick skillet over medium heat until opaque in color. Break into small pieces with a fork.

Add green onions and cilantro to salsa.

Peel and mash avocados. Add garlic salt to taste.

Fry tortillas in small amount of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet just long enough to warm tortilla. Tortilla should still be soft.

Place fish, lettuce, salsa, avocado and tortillas in separate serving bowls. These tacos taste great with a cold beer.

Variation:
Add some grated cheddar cheese and/or sour cream for a richer taste.

History:
I had my first fish taco in 1993 on a fishing boat named the New Hustler II. The owner and galley chef, Shig Kondo, was my fishing sensai. I filled in for Shig as galley chef several weekends during the summer of 1993 until I learned it was too much work and too little fishing. Shig no longer owns a boat nor fishes, however, I still bring fresh fish to Shig after each successful trip.
