Here fishy fishy...

I made a trip to Whole Foods today to get some fresh cod for dinner tonight. Luckly I made it out with only the fish after wandering the aisles. Spicy Fish Tacos with Chipotle Lime Sauce is what we had this evening (Adapted from Cuisine @ Home). The fish, after being marinated in fresh lime juice, is coated with a crunchy mix of cornmeal, flour, adobo chili powder and cayenne. The creamy and spicy sauce has chipotle peppers in adobo sauce which really brings out the heat. I choose to use flavored soft tortillas and rolled them up to make a wrap. These would be very good either way with soft or hard tortillas. The wraps are very filling and hot hot hot!

    Very professional looking wraps! I can never get them to look as nice as the ones in restaurants...

    Isn't that the way it is, though? EarthFare is our 'danger' store...the list has only five items, and we leave with 20!

    Absolutely stunning! I had my first fish taco a couple of years ago in California, and have been mad about them ever since.

    Keep in mind which fish you use...some are almost fished out and others have high mecury levels.

    I always recommend checking with Seafood Watch from the Monterey Bay Acquarium before I buy.
