Fabulous FIsh Taco's

Who here likes fish? Not me, well not always and now only in certain ways. One of those ways is in a taco and particularly what's called Baja style, Aka Fried and served with cabbage, sour cream based sauce and a lime. This particular recipe ended my long search for a great home made fish taco, thanks to my good friend Oksana For sharing. I have tried several recipes from many different sources and though they we're good they we're nothing compared to this. This was definitely the Ultimate Fish Taco, as it was appropriately named by food networks Tyler Florence. I'm telling you, if you like fish, even  the tiniest bit, these are a must try!
