Alright, let’s talk about them… what do you call ‘em? Halibut tacos! Yeah, those fishy things in a wrap. Never had ‘em myself ‘til recently, but the young’uns are all about ‘em, so I figured, why not? Gotta keep up with the times, even if my old bones don’t always agree.
First off, you gotta get yourself some halibut. Now, I ain’t no fancy fish expert, but the folks at the store said it’s good stuff. Looks kinda like any other fish to me, all white and flaky. You gotta cook it up, though. Can’t be eatin’ it raw, unless you’re lookin’ for trouble. I just fried it up in a pan with a bit of oil. Nothin’ fancy, just get it cooked through.
Then comes the other stuff. They call it… fixin’s, I think. First, you need them… tortillas. Them flat bread things. Warm ‘em up a bit, makes ‘em softer. Then you gotta have somethin’ crunchy. The young’uns use that… cabbage stuff. Green and purple, all shredded up. Looks pretty, I guess, but it’s mostly for crunch, far as I can tell.
And here’s where it gets complicated. They got this sauce stuff they put on top. Makes it all creamy and tangy. I tried makin’ it myself. Got some sour cream, that thick white stuff, and some mayo… you know, the egg stuff. Squeezed in some lime juice, for that sour kick. A bit of garlic powder, ‘cause everything’s better with garlic. And then… a little bit of that hot sauce, the red stuff. Just a touch, mind you, don’t wanna burn your mouth off. Mix it all up, and there you go, sauce!
- Fish: Halibut, cooked up nice and flaky.
- Tortillas: Warm ‘em up so they’re soft and bendy.
- Crunchy Stuff: Shredded cabbage, green and purple.
- Sauce: Sour cream, mayo, lime juice, garlic powder, and a bit of hot sauce.
Now, you put it all together. Fish in the tortilla, then the cabbage, and then the sauce on top. You can add other stuff too, I guess. Them little tomatoes, chopped up. Some green cilantro, if you like that herby taste. Some folks even put them pickled onions on it. Too fancy for me, but you do you.
The important thing is, it’s gotta taste good. And these halibut tacos, they ain’t half bad. The fish is flaky, the cabbage is crunchy, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. It all just works together, you know? Even an old lady like me can appreciate a good taco. It’s a nice change from the usual meat and potatoes, I gotta say. Makes a good, quick supper. My grandkids they love it.
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, it takes a bit of work. Frying the fish, chopping the cabbage, making the sauce… it ain’t like throwin’ a frozen dinner in the microwave. But it’s worth it, I reckon. It’s good food, made with your own two hands. And that’s somethin’ to be proud of, no matter how old you are or where you come from.
And let me tell you, these tacos are pretty fillin’. One or two of ‘em and you’re good to go. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light supper. And you can change it up too, I guess. Use different fish, different toppings, different sauce… The possibilities are endless, like them young’uns say. But for me, I’m stickin’ with the halibut. It’s good, honest fish, and it makes a darn good taco.
So, there you have it. My take on halibut tacos. Nothin’ fancy, just good, simple food. Give it a try, you might just like it. And if you don’t, well, more for me!
