Fish Tacos to The Rescue

I was lucky enough to marry a man who loves to make sushi, so I really shouldn’t complain about the fact that he inevitably buys too much fish.

Still, I’m the one who has to figure out what to do with day-old sushi grade tuna and salmon (I know, I know, life is hard.) So what can you do with six ounces of odd-sized chunks of fish?

My favorite solution is to make Bobby Flay’s fish tacos. The recipe calls for white fish, but I’ve used tuna, salmon, shrimp and even squid with consistently delicious results. And I use corn tortillas rather than flour; Whole Foods corn tortillas have a particularly pleasing corn-gritty quality. If you want to give your tacos a multiethnic twist, try napa cabbage or baby bok choy instead of the standard shredded white cabbage.

It’s a great way to salvage the sushi surplus.

add green tabasco and all will be fine

ive made this type of fish taco before and you can give it a bit of mexican flair by using green tabasco to give it a kick. the flavors in the green tabasco go really well with the salmon and yellowtail, and squid – havent ventured past that but dont think it would work well for eel - definite flavor crash

Sushi Ramen

I was inspired by your post, but too lazy to follow the recipe. So I boiled up some ramen (the fancy 89 cent kind, not a 4-for-the-buck ceapo) and tossed the expiring left-over sushi on top for thirty seconds. Delicious. Here’s a picture: www.humanize.com/sushiramen.jpg
