Fish tacos have a rich history dating back to coastal regions of Mexico, where they were first created. The dish gained popularity in the 1950s in Baja California, where local chefs began grilling or frying fresh fish and serving it in a tortilla with cabbage, salsa, and a squeeze of lime. Over time, this culinary delight made its way to the United States, particularly Southern California, where it became a staple of beachside eateries. Today, the best fish tacos can still be found in Baja California, where chefs use locally caught fish, fresh tortillas, and a perfect balance of flavors to create this iconic dish. The key to a great fish taco lies in the freshness of the fish, the crunch of the cabbage, and the zing of the salsa. Whether you're enjoying them in a seaside shack or a trendy urban eatery, fish tacos are a must-try for any seafood lover.
