I attempted to re-create the best fish taco’s known to mankind, which can be found in Ocean Beach, San Diego at a local fav, South Beach Bar & Grille. I've had fish tacos across the US, Mexico, and Australia...and to this day, nothing compares to the world famous fish tacos in OB. I’ve done my research and this is almost as good! It's one of my all-time fav recipes, so enjoy :)

Pre note: It's best to prepare and marinate some of the items in advance, so whipping up the salsa and cilantro sauce ahead of time is helpful! Also, marinate the fish for at least 1 hour...but overnight marinating would overpower the delicate white fish, so I'd recommend 1-2 hours ;)

Yields: varies

Ingredients

• Mahi 
• Cheddar cheese 
• Purple cabbage 
• Few Limes 
• Flour tortillas 
• Pineapple-Teriyaki Marinade
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 5 oz Soy sauce (~0.63 cups)  
• 1 cup Crushed Pineapple
• Salsa Fresca
• Onion, diced 
• Tomato, diced
• Garlic cloves, minced
• Cilantro, chopped
• Cilantro Sauce
• 1 tbsp. Cilantro leaves, chopped (fresh)
• 1 tbsp. Jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 1 Garlic clove
• 1/2 Lime, juice and zest
• 2 tbsp. Plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp. Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp. Sour cream

Directions

1. Prepare: 
1. Marinate: Mix the brown sugar and soy sauce together and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add crushed pineapple. Marinate the mahi in the Pineapple-Teriyaki Marinade for 1-2 hours.
2. Yogurt sauce: puree the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and lime juice with zest. In a separate bowl, add the yogurt, mayonnaise and sour cream, and then fold the puree in. Cover and refrigerate. 
3. Salsa fresca: quantities to your satisfaction. 
2. Grill: 
1. Fire up the bbq! Grill the mahi to your satisfaction. Note: mahi cooks through quickly, so keep an eye on it...but a little charring on the edges is a flavorful plus! 
2. Warm the tortillis on the grill and melt some cheese on one side of the tortilla. 
3. Assemble the goods, top with the cilantro sauce and serve with some sliced limes (to squeeze the juice over the tacos)! 
4. ¡Buen provecho! (Enjoy your meal!)
