Mexican Food on RCCL Ships (Specifically Tacos)

I've had some tortillas far superior to a trash-fish like Halibut.  Maybe that is a good use for it, though.  Add lots of other stuff to the fish.

Agreed, never been a fan of Halibut.  It has no flavor and is way to much $$$$.  Fresh flour tortillas hot off the rusted steel car hood griddle, priceless!

Lol- I live in Mn, and we can get fish tacos all over here.  Don’t agree that it’s a “west coast thing”.

Apparently it has spread. https://www.sunset.com/food-wine/flavors-of-the-west/in-search-real-fish-taco

Weird take.  Halibut is a lean fish with delicate and slightly sweet flavor.  That means that it is highly versatile both in manner of preparation (great grilled or fried) and in sauces/accompaniments.  On the other hand, in the hands of amateurs it is easily overcooked (which dries it out).  It is certainly not "trash" unless that term lacks all meaning.

 

Obviously, go for Pacific halibut rather than Atlantic halibut because the latter are overfished.  Pacific halibut are larger and more delicious anyway.

Best battered and fried, but delish all the same, never fishy tasting.  My SIL grew up in Juneau and she cooked it for us a lot, then we had on our Alaska cruises, similar to shark meat, white, flaky, meaty and wonderful.  To each his own.
