fish taco
Baja coastal snack
A fish taco is a taco filled with fish—typically battered and fried white fish or grilled—topped with cabbage, crema, and salsa.
The dish originated in Baja California and became a staple of Southern California cuisine before spreading widely: We grabbed fish tacos from a stand near the beach.
