Taco

Fish tacos are a type of taco that features fried or grilled fish as the primary filling. Originating from the coastal regions of Mexico, particularly Baja California, fish tacos have gained international popularity due to their unique flavor and texture. The dish typically consists of a corn or flour tortilla filled with battered and fried white fish, such as cod or tilapia, topped with shredded cabbage or lettuce, creamy sauces like chipotle mayo or crema, and sometimes garnished with fresh salsa, lime, and cilantro. The exact preparation and ingredients can vary widely depending on regional and personal preferences. In Hebrew, fish tacos are referred to as טאקוס דגים. In Spanish, the term is simply tacos de pescado. Fish tacos are often associated with beachside dining and are a staple in coastal cities around the world, reflecting the cultural exchange and adaptation of Mexican cuisine globally.
