Fish tacos: How do you season your fish?

[Attjack]

I'm going to make some fish tacos with cod tonight. I usually use salt, chili powder, and cayenne. Looking for a new spice combo. How do you season your fish tacos?

[Spinaker]

Generally, I love to use Tsunami Spin from Dizzy Pig. I find that to be really excellent on fish and chicken. I really don't make my own rubs, so I am really no help there.

[Attjack]

You're right you're no help for tonight. But I'll try to check out Tsunami Spin sometime.

[EdF]

I like it too.

[Skip]

That looks really good John.

Store bought blackened seasoning is what I use. I may try to make my own one of these days.

[gabulldog]

Yep. I always blacken fish for fish tacos. Old bay blackened seasoning is pretty good tho making a blackened seasoning is pretty straight forward....

I like to mix chipotle and mayo for a sauce in the fish taco or as a chip dip!

[Attjack]

I usually do sriracha and mayo.

[Henrik]

That sounds like a winner to me!

[NoogaQ]

Got to try that mix sometime.

[smokenoob]

chili powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika seasoning on the fish comes to mind.....

[NoogaQ]

That gets my mouth watering just thinking about it!

Personally, I do season the fish but don't try to add a lot of flavor (the fish speaks for itself). I like to focus on a flavorful sauce and salsa instead ... much like this Tyler Florence recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...recipe-1946664

[MBMorgan]

Agreed. I just meant that I don't add a lot of additional flavors to the fish itself. Things like cayenne, onion/garlic powder, cumin, etc., I like to put in the sauce/salsa. Honestly, I don't know that it makes any real difference ... it's just how I've gotten used to doing it.

[Attjack]

That makes sense.

[JGo37]

that is a good recipe...

WHERE are YOU GUYS FROM? (well, just kiddin' it usually says where right below your pic)

I lived in San Diego for 25 years and fished Baja even longer. Fish Tacos are only made with homemade mayo / sour cream 50/50, the juice of a lime, cilantro, fresh hot salsa or mild and add Cholula to taste, and shredded cold cabbage. On the heated soft-shell.

I like them fried, my wife likes them grilled without batter. Neither one disappoints.

Feliz comer.

[Troutman]

I'll take those !! We have a taco place here called the Baja Grill, former Mexican from Cabo who makes them similar to that. Those and his Elote are to die for !!!

[Troutman]

The only thing I would add to the above is to use Tony Chachere's seasoning.....killer on fish tacos !!!

[gabulldog]

Thought it was "shasheree." Any way you say it, Tony is the bomb.

[smokenoob]

Sasharay

[Troutman]

I think Sasharay is pretty close, but I still say Chaaceree's

[Huskee]

I recently picked up a bottle of this, and to me it's fantastic on fish for tacos or just eating plain- grilled, baked or fried. Chicken too, but them the chicken kinda reminds me of a cajun/blackened fish flavor, which is still good.

[Troutman]

Bet there's a touch of Cajun in that there mix !!!

[Huskee]

Troutman Most definitely. While I'm no expert in Cajun & Creole seasonings, I suppose it's very similar to what you'd expect in that vein.

[CBaldwin]

I used some of Traeger's Summer Shandy rub on some fresh trout that we caught/cooked last week, and it was really good. I know its not the typical Baja style seasoning, but we really liked it. If you want something different, it might be worth finding. It has more of a citrus-herb flavor.

[smokenoob]

How did they come out Attjack ? (or did I miss your post over in what ya cookin'?)

[Attjack]

Well I ended up not seasoning the fish. I just cooked it in butter. Then I tried the 50/50 sour cream and mayo mix (tastes like tartar sauce). A little salsa verde, cilantro and sriracha. Delicious. But I like my mayo sriracha concoction better.
