In The Kitchen with Jessica

By: Jessica Hendrie

It’s my favorite time! Time to eat! After long days and nights of fishing, the main thing I always look forward to is getting home to cook and prepare the fish I catch for my family and friends. One of the best things to cook and maybe even the simplest, are fish tacos! These work so well with nearly every type of fish. They way I prepare them varies but I do have one good solid recipe that never fails. That is as follows. First, grab all your supplies. This will include Your fish, tortillas, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, onion, feta cheese, lime, seasonings of choice, mayo, fresh dill, honey, black beans, and rice. First, cook your rice and start by making your sauce. In a bowl, combine your mayo, seasonings, dill, and honey the mix. Place in refrigerator. Next, season your fish and sauté it in your skillet. Once it’s completed, set aside. Chop your cilantro onions. Heat your black bean, add garlic, seasonings, lime, olive oil and some water and mash to make refried beans. Heat your oil and heat your tortillas for a few minutes then prepare. Add your fish, cilantro, onions and top with cheese and sauce. Plate with your refried beans and rice and there you have it! The best and most easiest fish tacos that anyone can make! How cool is it that we are able to catch our own food and prepare it for our loved ones to eat? My favorite fish to do this with, is of course, mahi mahi. That’s the most basic as well but I promise it’s just as yummy with any fillet. I’ve even made tacos out of snakehead… so it’s all about how you cook it, not the fish. So enjoy this recipe and enjoy fishing and cooking. Summer is close so the mahi mahi will be coming just in time. Happy fishing!
