In the maritime Southwest of North America, the combination of tortilla and grilled or fried fish is a dish that goes back generations. Tacos are one of those essential foodstuffs that are always better in one’s own immediate neck of the woods, preferably made by a grandparent close to you or someone you love. And JeffThe420Chef couldn’t agree more, which is why he shares his Freaky Fish Tacos with any and all who care to join in, adding a healthy dose of ganja to the traditional experience. “Fish tacos are a really great dinner party meal and these are not only really tasty (and authentic), but they’ll knock you out of your socks if you eat more than two,” he says.
