Hi everyone. The Taco Trail entries so far are on my business website at http://www.tucsonindustrialrealty.com/ and will be transferred over to the blog site soon. They are located at the end of my profile. We have had 7 taco trips including the "ringer" that I am about to write about.
Every taco eater, taco maker and taco expert has an ace in the hole for tacos. A hidden treasure that no one can visit or knows where it is. It's called a ringer. Mine showed up at the house with all of the fixins for fish tacos, one of my favorites. The only thing my young pal Brian did not bring was the fish............I got the call to rush home from work and that future Chef, Brian was making sea bass tacos. My son's friend Brian knows I am a food snob and taco worshipper. He still remembers several years ago when I returned from southern Mexico with 200#s of fresh yellowtail and cabrilla and fish tacos at our house were a regular weekly deal. I know Brian through my son Connor (another taco worshipper). Brian wants to go to Chef's school some day and is currently working under the tutelage of Chef Albert Hall, the owner of Acacia Restaurant here in Tucson. Brian made a killer avocado sauce with fresco cream and cilantro and jalapenos that was over the top. He pan seared the chunks of sea bass with different peppers in a little olive oil. We heated up some corn tortillas and added some cabbage, radishes, and onions. While the tortillas were store bought, Brian did a good job of heating them up a special way. How do you lightly deep fry a tortilla? I don't know but he did. The bottom line was that these were some of the best fish tacos I have ever had and Brian secured a spot within the top taco category for the Taco Trail of 2009. Brian, you are the man. Thanks. If you want to sample some of Brian's handiwork I imagine you can find a fish taco at Acacia. Chef Albert is crazy if he doesn't give the kid a Taco Night shot. Make it Sea Bass!
