Grilled Rockfish Tacos

[akjeff]

Love rockfish tacos! They had fresh fillets at the grocery store, so that was dinner. A few minutes per side, as hot as the MAK would run. Cotija cheese, avocado, pickled onion & jalapeño, cilantro, sour cream and lime.

It's at the top of the list for us, as far as fresh fish goes, along with ling cod. Regular cod, like you would normally find at the grocery store, makes a damn good taco as well, as does halibut. Rockfish and ling cod, don't freeze worth a darn, but when fresh, there's none better IMO.

Great to know and thanks for the explanation! Again, those tacos I’d stand in line for!

I see rockfish at my local Costco all the time, and I've been sorely tempted. But of course they are Costco-sized packages and I live alone, and as you say, it doesn't freeze well. Next to ling cod, it's my favorite for fish & chips.

Many rockfish are called rock cod, unless the OP is calling rockfish/striped/ bass, depending on which coast he is posting from.

Rockfish on the east coast is our west coast striped bass.

These are some of our West Coast rockfish, they are all very mild, flaky, white flesh, delicious, cod-like fish.
