Let’s talk about how to make fish taco sauce, shall we? Who’s in the mood for fish tacos? I also enjoy cooking the fish in different ways. Think grilled fish tacos, but also sautéed or battered and fried. Fish tacos are SO GOOD when they’re crispy and fried with a coating of seasoned beer batter. No matter how you’re making your fish tacos, it is extremely important to make yourself the best fish taco sauce. Fish taco sauce is key! There are many different types of sauce you can either buy or make, but I love a good homemade creamy white sauce for my fish tacos. Adjust the ingredients and add others to make it your own favorite way, and you can have it ready for serving in only 5 minutes. That’s a huge win for me. Simple enough, right? As I said, it’s crazy easy to make, and you can whip this together in practically no time. It’s perfect with any fish taco recipe you’re making, whether it’s pan seared, grilled, baked or fried fish. Blackened! Doesn’t matter, it’s perfect every time. When your tacos are ready, spoon or squeeze some over your tacos and enjoy! I absolutely love this recipe. You may need to make some extra. That’s it, my friends! I hope you enjoy my fish taco sauce recipe. Time to make some fish tacos! Let me know how you change it up to make it your own. It’s a family loved recipe. Adjust Your Fish Taco Sauce to Taste. Try adding some of these other ingredients for a different version:
Chipotles in Adobo - Use a blender to blend the chipotle peppers, or use chipotle sauce. The chipotles offer a touch of smoky goodness, and the adobo sauce is rich with lots of flavor. Spicy Chili Powder - A dash or two could bring the extra zing you’re looking for. Be careful going too spicy for some palates, as overly spicy chili powder, like ghost powder, might overwhelm the delicate flavor of your chosen fish. Of course a spicier fish taco sauce would be perfect for stronger tasting fish like catfish. Greek Yogurt - I use Mexican crema for mine, but a creamy yogurt or even sour cream works for this recipe as well. You can realistically go with your favorite of these. Extras - A quarter teaspoon of cumin will go a long way for a touch of Mexican flare. Try fresh herbs. I love a nice cilantro-lime combo.
Or serve it alongside iconic pico de gallo. Perfect tacos! So good! I also enjoy it over pulled pork, sort of like an Alabama White Sauce. Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help.
