Back in September, 2013 I took a week off to camp and fish Canaveral National Seashore over at Jetty Park campground/pier. It was the mullet run and the blacktip fishing was INSANE! I made friends with the lady at the bait shop there and she said I have to eat the fish taco at the snack stand.
Turns out Trip Advisor has reviews about it: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g34117-d3806903-Reviews-Jetty_park_Shop_and_Grill-Cape_Canaveral_Florida.html
SHE WAS NOT KIDDING AROUND! THIS WAS THE BEST FISH TACO I'VE EVER EATEN!!! It may have had something to do with being drunk, but I didn't care. It was so good I ordered another one. It took some prying (and a 6 pack), but I got the recipe out of the person behind the counter. I share it with you all today, so eat up!!!
JETTY PARK BLACKENED FISH TACO
makes 1 taco
1 soft 6 or 8 inch tortilla
1 hard taco shell
1 tilapia fillet
generic cajun seasoning
frying oil
shredded lettuce
black bean salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
Paprika Sauce: recipe below
Heat up a fry pan and toast the soft tortilla on both sides and lay it on a plate. Microwave the taco shell for 15 seconds, crack it into two pieces down the middle and lay it on the tortilla. Heat a tablespoon of oil in the fry pan over medium high heat. Season the tilapia with the cajun seasoning and saute it for 3 to 4 minutes each side. Lay it on the taco shell. Then cover with shredded lettuce, black bean salsa, cheese and paprika sauce.
Paprika Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon generic cajun seasoning
Mix it all together and put it in a squeeze bottle. I guarantee you will use it on everything.
THESE TACOS ARE THE TRUTH!!! DO NOT ACCEPT IMITATIONS!!!
