Fish tacos???

As many of you know, travel is all about finding the perfect I2PA or in chases a very nice meed will do in a pinch. There has and always will be the underlining need for food. And yes dear readers, fish tacos are the perfect food to go along with an I2PA.



Fish Taco: A hard or soft taco made with Cod or preferable Halibut, a nice spice sauce(either red or white in color), cabbage and cheese.



One must remember that all fish tacos are not created equally. Some are nothing more than "fast food", some have the time and care needed to be a true classic, but still miss the mark. A true fish taco is a work of art that needs to be cared for and brought to the table with love and served hot.

So where would go to get the best in fish tacos?

1. The Old Post in Missoula, MT. is a fine place to get you fish taco fix. You can chose from different types of fish, or live on the edge and go for a blacken fish taco. They also have Rogue and Big Sky brewing on tap.

2. Any of the Rogue Brewing joints. Served as a build your own, very nice.

3. Taco Del Mar located all over the place. The fish burrito is very good as well. This is more of a healthy fast food type of fish taco, but still very good. Go for the hot sauce on this one along with the white sauce.

From my limited travel around the good old US, I've come to think of fish tacos as a West Coast thing. When I'm back east I find that most everyone just gives me the deer in the head light look when I ask for a fish taco.

Can I find good fish tacos in San Diego? We are going to be there for a few days around Thanksgiving. Fish Tacos are a natural for penguins and other flightless water fowl.

Very much a west coast, indeed a SoCal surf-culture, invention. I have heard of them, and they sound delicious. I believe lime is also an ingredient south of you. I had one somewhere out here, and could tell as soon as I got it that it was a bad attempt. I too am looking forward to having the real thing in San Doego; pity I have to wait till November for it...

Fish taco's have been 'tried' around the country but they fizzle out quick. Funny, I lived in Southern Cal back when they were 'first' being tried there. I was in Laguna Nigel when they were making a big fuss about the "NEW Fish Tacos!" and I said "ewwww" and didn't try it. :)

Never fear the blackened Ahi tuna version of the fish taco at a local chain in the Seattle area called Canyons. Spicy, usually cooked medium rare........

Sorry, started drooling on my keyboard.

And it wasn't from the Brewtus glasses of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I had with dinner.

THE Woodchuck podcast LIVE!

http://www.thevap.com/ Episode 32: Get Hitched! It's a long podcast, I'm the last half of the podcast. This was taped after a 10 hour day at SEMA and sitting in a hotel room while on the phone. I then went to the airport to take a midnight flight home. So, will this make a diffenence in my job, will anyone care, or will it get me a pay raise??? NO. Today may be a great day to go back to being 10 years old where I had no stress.

Busted yet again

Now that we are POD people and all, I have to clean out the crawl space under 1/2 our house. The problem with this is that I sort of let DW think that there was very little to nothing left down there. SHE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS STILL A TON OF CRAP DOWN THERE. So now I'm picking up Cat crap as one of the furry little varmints started to live in the crawl space. I've moved out the eight pedal cars that were down there. I took what was left of the rafting/camping stuff over to fuzzballs place. And I really should call and tell him I did so, then again, maybe not. Now all I have to do is take down the shelves, finish taking the old store records out, and what else? Deck lid...check 6 boxes of toys...check road bike and trainer...check neon beer signs.....check old beer mirrors.....check raft and gear....check more old toys....double check Why is all of my crap in the crawl space? Don't answer as that was a rhetorical question. So in case I didn't mention this, we are movin...
