RECIPE: New San Diego Fish Tacos Old-Style — Whole Salt Baked Sheepshead Tacos with Guacamole and Jalapeño Mayonnaise

October 12, 2016 mgardiner

When many think of food and San Diego it is the fish taco that first comes to mind. That’s odd considering that what we know as the fish taco originated south, not north, of the border. The real reason they tend to be associated with San Diego is the fact they were popularized in … [Read more...]
