National Fish Taco Day
Published on January 4, 2023
A favourite that swept across the USA and to Canada and beyond, National Fish Taco day falls on January 25th. To mark the occasion, let’s take a look at how this dish came to be!
Catch of the Day
While most people point to Baja California as the place where fish tacos became the lightly battered fare that we know today, they originate in the coastal areas of Mexico going several hundred years back where the fisherman would wrap their catches in stone ground tortillas. Seafood is a prominent cuisine in these areas, pair with ingredients such as chiles, herbs and corn. In fact, dishes such as fresh ceviche and guachiles hail from these regions too. There’s also speculation that fish tacos may have been influence by Japanese tempura.
Celebrate with Quesada
