I love flour tortillas, but IMO fish tacos taste better with corn tortillas, preferably two tortillas per taco. The texture and taste seem to match the other ingredients better. I do think the photos are lovely, though. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'll give it a try. As for Roscoes, I'm not a fan. For better results, I recommend buying good syrup, getting Church's takeout, and making your own waffles from scratch (very easy). Good stuff!

no problems baby if there is one way to my heart its thru fish tacos and i too yearn to see what the nay sayers claim to be superior. but then again im not mexican either and therefore willing to love all sorts of tacos and burritos as a black man though i wince at praises of Roscoes, so i understand to a point peoples gripes, but whatevs, im not looking for authentic im looking for good.

Well, La Ranchera, they tasted pretty good, but I'm not Mexican, so I certainly won't make any claims to ethnic authority. What do you think constitutes a tasty fish taco? And can you tell me which brand of crema you'd recommend? And MD, who's talking about battered fish sticks? I baked that fish without batter. That's just what tilapia looks like when it's cooked. And why no crema? WHY, people, WHY? Why can't you offer constructive critques that include suggestions for improvement instead of just off-the-cuff Valley-girl-ish expectorations??? I BELIEVED IN YOU!!!

I'm sorry but as a Mexican person, I have to tell you, those tacos do not look very appetizing. Lo siento... Is it really that hard to find Mexican sour cream? I see it in all the supermarkets.

Here's my tortilla rule: flour tortillas for halibut tacos, corn for every other kind of fish or taco-like construction. Flour also prevails for burritos and fajitas. Thoughts?
