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.

So, what car would you buy your kid???

There seems to be a general discussion running rampant around here about what type of car you should by a kid. And when said car should appear around the house. As I only have 4 years to pull this off, better start now. Things to consider before buying the car: 1. DD must complete 12 hours of flight time before taking test for permit. 2. Complete at least one driving school, Skip Barber , Bondurant Racing School , and so on. 3. DD must be able to change a tire, change the oil, do basic maintance on the car. I would like them to be able to strip down an engine and do a rebuild , however that may be just to much at this point. 4.DD must understand that I will not under any circumstance have or allow a pink car to park in front of my house. Cars come in four colors only, Red, Blue, Black, and British Racing Green. 5. Just what is the perfect Horse power to weight ratio? 6. Only one passenger in the car at a time. This is a good argument for a older British sports car that only has two s...

When do you take a Vacation?

I don't really take vacations, instead I take a lot of small trips with my family. I put the two little rodents in the back and we drive and enjoy time with each other. Although no one in the family is a road warrior like me, they do enjoy the destinations. I have not taken any days off this year and will take my "Vacation time" in December and have fun with the rodents. I guess I will never understand someone who needs to leave the kids with the Grandparents and go away for two weeks to some place expensive for a break. I mean, shouldn't you home life and family be where you want to go when you need a break. However, I do understand that this does not apply to my MIL....not going there.....not going there........We teach our kids to live and breathe in this world, don't do that, don't do this. But, do we ever teach our kids to have fun. Does anyone ever say do this, do that, or run wild and have fun? Next time you are driving down the road and you pass one of...

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.
