Pineapple & Mango Mahi Mahi Tacos

These were moderately labor intensive so be forewarned. I got 3lbs of Mahi Mahi at Costco this weekend so get ready for some serious exotic action in the near future. "That sounds sexy!" No, exotic not erotic you fucking idiot. Of course the first thing I do is just put them in some damn tacos but more interesting shit is to come (hopefully). This recipe can also be used for any white fish in case you were too stupid to figure that out on your own. Let's begin:
So in the interest of full disclosure I originally intended this mixture to be a sauce that I would run over the cooked fish after being placed in the taco. In a simple twist of fate it ended up being way too runny. A total idiot, like yourself, would just throw it all away but a super genius like myself would realize that it would make the perfect marinade. All you have to do is process the juice from a 20oz can of pineapple, 1/4c vegetable oil, the juice of 2-3 limes, 1 diced mango (skin it, stupid), a hand full of cilantro, some salt, and one clove of minced garlic. Soak your fish in that shit for no more than three hours.
Lay some tin foil down on a baking/cookie sheet and throw down some of the marinade. Place your fish on it and then cover the fish in the marinade. Broil for 5 min per side. Since you are totally fucking retarded I feel the need to remind you, again, that when you broil shit you need to keep the oven door open a crack so you don't burn the hell out of it.
Make a red onion, jalapeno, and tomato relish (same we did for the scallops but add 1 diced jalapeno). Fry your tortillas in oil like we did for the Spinach and Mushroom Enchiladas. Plop your fish down and top with the relish, sour cream, white cheese (preferably queso fresco), and cabbage. I usually do a long slice (or in layman's terms, julienne) for cabbage but I did a dice here and it looks like shit. Do the long slice.
I also made this crappy black bean shit to go with it. I just sauteed some onion and garlic, added some chili power and cumin, diced red pepper, and then a can of black beans (juice included). Easy and simple side for some bitch ass tacos. Eat it.

That sounds bad ass, bitch. Thanks for the ideas in my quest for what to cook for the critter. Wife won't eat it, but she can have a baloney taco while the kid and I nom on some fish tacos.

Thanks, Asshole.

My woman actually said they were the best fish tacos she ever had which is rare because I almost never get any type of appreciation or even a thank you.

Starbird said...

I hate that. My wife does the same shit. But, she eats damn near everything I put on the table.

But a compliment? Hell freezes over first.

Damn.

Cooking Asshole said...

Seriously! She will scarf it down like a mangy dog (I am going to catch hell for that one) but it is all taken for granted. I would say that if she lived without me she would starve to death but she does make one mean refried bean and cheese burrito.

I love fish tacos especially Mahi Mahi, this takes me back to our vacation at Kihei they have this fish taco place where we would have lunch like almost every day. Fish taco with mango sounds great.

Cooking Asshole said...

I had to look that up...

Kihei is in Hawaii people! No need to run to google!

Psychocat said...

No appreciaation? That sucks! At least Hubby and I thank one another for cooking meals, and even work together in the kitchen!

Mealtime rules in a house with two good cooks...

=^..^=

Cooking Asshole said...

When we work together in the kitchen she screws everything up...

or maybe I am just a control freak when it comes to my kitchen...

whatever...

bunny said...

I am voting for (B) control freak.

PS, now that I am going to be a working girl, think I could marinate that shit for a shorter or longer time?

Cooking Asshole said...

Working girl, huh? Which street corner?

I would go less time. Any longer than three hours and the acids will probably start to cook the fish.
