Swai Fish Tacos! What’s a Swai??
Does the word Taco conjure images of foods better left consumed after a bender? You know that moment in time where all taste and discretion has completely left you? Well let me offer up to you the Fish Taco! Now at this point, you know I am not talking about hard shells in a package with crumbled fish sticks… I am talking about fresh corn tortillas lightly grilled, and then stuffed with all things fresh and wonderful. I have been experimenting with several different denizens of the deep lately, and my most recent was Swai, which is a Vietnamese river fish similar to Catfish. So why Swai and not Catfish? Why not? Always looking for something new to try. Swai is a sweet whitefish that does a decent job of taking on marinades and rubs, and therefore transfers the savory goodies onto you in the form of a reasonably healthy and inexpensive meal. Once off the grill and nestled in Corn tortilla land, top it with some fresh Cilantro, a little tangy slaw, some Cotija cheese and a little spicy jalapeno yogurt drizzle, and you will find yourself eating way more than you expected. Now just add a nice warm glass of Milk, and ……whoops I was thinking ahead to the Toll House cookies……. okay so just add a nice chilled Corona, and make sure to use the lime on the beer AND the taco! Bon Apetit!
