Making Fish Tacos |
||
My friend Nery and I had Sunday brunch at his cousin Ernesto's fish taco stand. Ernesto and his uncle Antonio make fish tacos, fish soup and ceviche from 9:30 AM until 6:00 PM every day. At night Ernesto attends college classes in computer technology. He attends the same tech college as Nery. He and Toņo are both bilingual after having lived in USA |

Uncle Toņo shares the cooking duty |

Each piece of fish is coated with flour and egg |
Then dropped into a deep fat fryer. |

Plating begins with a piece of freshly fried fish on a fresh tortilla. |
Then Ernesto piles on some shredded cabbage. |
Topped with a salsa of diced onions, tomatoes and cilantro. |
These were really good. We both pigged out -- Nery = 6, Rolly = 5. Hot sauce was on the table along with an endless supply of limes. We did not try the fish soup. Ernesto gave me some ceviche to take home. Excellent |
We arrived while the guys were still setting up. This gave me a chance to see the great lengths they went to to ensure cleanliness. I was impressed. They used sanitizing hand spray before touching the food. They have a large number of plates. And since the stand is in front of Ernesto's house, it's easy for them to wash plates when the supply of clean ones runs low.. |

Since I don't drive any more, I have an arrangement with Ernesto to bring four fish tacos to my house each Thursday morning. Good food and good service. |
