Rave: Fish Tacos
I think less is more when it comes to fish tacos. There is a great place in Chicago for fish tacos that basically uses grilled tilapia and some lettuce. I add some of their homemade guacamole and salsa, and my taste buds are in heaven. No cheese, diced tomatoes or sour cream a la Taco Bell.
I had some fish tacos last week made with Cajun blackened Ono, but it was a bit heavy on the lettuce and salsa. OK, but not as good.
I think the point is to taste the fish and spice, not overwhelm it.

I'm heading to San Diego next week on business. Fish tacos are one of the things on my To Do list.

Los Nopales. I think it is at 4544 N. Western, just north of Montrose (4400) on the west side. The chorizo is home made, as is the guac. It's also BYOB. It just doesn't get any better.G.

I prefer cabbage to lettuce but I love fish tacos.
LaSalsa on Olive at 270 will let you subsititute fish in any of their dishes. I had a stacked fish enchilada there the other day.
