Hi. Did you notice any changes about The Peach Kitchen recently? Well, it’s not much of a change but I’ve put up a Recipe Index up there at the nav bar. I just found out that some of you are having a hard time digging for old recipes from waaay back. I’m so sorry about that. So I would like to make-up for it, hence, the Recipe Index up there and the Archive down the sidebar.
Just so you know I really appreciate it that you carve out time from your day to day activity just to drop by here. And I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I would also like to thank you because I found out something while I was trying to fix that Recipe Index up there. Most of my recipes are Pork recipes. Yeah, I love pork. I know some of you may not like it and some don’t event eat pork but I love it and I’m not ashamed of it. Please don’t judge.
On a healthier note, I know I have to cook more fish and vegetable dishes now that I realized I’ve been eating too much pork.
My aunt makes this delicious Shrimp Tacos which I find really unsatisfying because she puts only one piece of shrimp on top of a coleslaw-filled hard taco shell. ONE!
One.Piece. Of. Shrimp.
Who eats one piece of shrimp, even with batter and all?
So anyway, I have to satisfy my taco craving. I don’t want to make Beef Tacos because that’s, kind of, a regular thing on our menu. Besides, I’ve been fantasizing about really great Fish Tacos for quite some time now.
I wanted to make this from some other kind of fish aside from Cream Dory. I checked out frozen Tipalia fillets and Fillet of Sole from the supermarkets but…. oh boy, those are quite expensive. If you add the rest of the ingredients then I’d be over my budget, so I still ended up Cream Dory. I got two big fillets for ₱99 which I think was a sweet deal.
Made this for breakfast the other day just before I took Ykaie’s to her swimming lessons. It was a Power Breakfast! I have to make this for peanutbutter♥.
If you have a fish recipe that you’d want to share with me, please leave it at the comments section. I’d be glad to try it and feature it in this blog. Let’s share our fish recipes with the world!
Mango Salsa- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 tomato, chopped
- 4 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Garlic Cream Sauce- ¼ cup lite mayonnaise
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 4 tbsp white vinegar
Crispy Fish Fillet- 2 big Cream Dory Fillets
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp granulated garlic
- ¼ tsp cayenne powder
- ¼ tsp ground oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 bottle of cold beer
- juice from half a lime
- canola oil for frying
Tacos- Wheat Tortilla
- 3 cups shredded lettuce
- Lime Wedges
- hot sauce (optional)
- Combine mango, onion, tomato, fish sauce, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl and mix well.
- Set aside in the fridge to chill
- Combine mayo, garlic, salt, black pepper, lime juice and white vinegar in a small bowl.
- Mix well.
- Add more vinegar if it's too thick. The consistency should be thin.
- To make the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic, cayenne, oregano, and salt and pepper in a large bowl until well blended.
- Pour in half the bottle of beer and stir until there are no lumps. Pour more if the mixture is too thick.Drink the leftover beer while it's cold and make sure you have another bottle.
- Cut your Cream Dory fillets the size and shape of your index finger. Pat dry your fish with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt and squeeze lime juice over it.
- Heat canola oil in a non-stick skillet.
- Dip the fish into the batter. It should be the consistency of medium-thick pancake batter, add more beer if it seems too thick.
- Remove fish from batter, letting excess batter drip, and gently place into the hot oil. Cook a few pieces at a time until the batter is crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove and place onto a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Heat tortilla over fire in stove top or the oven.
- Fill with the shredded lettuce.
- Top with fish and spoon Mango Salsa over top.
- Drizzle with Garlic Cream Sauce.
- Squeeze a lime wedge and add your favorite hot sauce.
- Eat with that other cold beer.
Your tacos look really delicious – this is one of my eldest daughters favorite meals so thanks for a great recipe!

I do hope you give this recipe a try, Rose.
My gosh that looks delectable and I love your presentation! Food porn is my favorite and I really need to try that sauce!
Thanks Brie!
Oh my gosh these fish tacos look amazing! I’d have to admit that I’ve never tried them before but this looks so delicious…seriously. I would have never thought to add mango either..thanks!
Thanks Jess!
I’m here laughing at your one piece of shrimp? Who eats just one? Anyway loving this and I am so going to give this a try the next time I do fish and in the mood for taco.
LOL! I do hope you give this a try Amanda!
Wow those look amazing!! I will at least have to try the mango salsa! 🙂
Thanks Rachel!
I love fish tacos! They are on my menu for tomorrow, I’ll have to give your mango salsa a try.
I’m sure you’re gonna love the Mango Salsa.
These fish tacos look amazing! I am pinning this for future use!
Thanks Cyndie
Haven’t tried this yet but am sure my daughter would love it.
I’m sure you’ll love it too!
I love tacos! It’s usually my husband who makes this dish at home but I want to try this myself. Thanks for this recipe. 🙂
You’re welcome. I hope you like it Emma!
I don’t eat tacos but the recipe looks easy. How do you make those recipe index?
Interesting. Beef tacos are common in our menu too so this is something different I’d like to try. I shared a recent recipe on stuffed Tilapia on my blog. I don’t want to put the link here, baka kasi ma-mark as spam. 😀
I agree, who eats just one piece of shrimp? Certainly not me. Hahaha! We usually have tacos once a month here at home but have never tried it with fish. Will try this out next time we have tacos. 🙂
Is it gonna make a super huge difference if I don’t add cilantro. I really don’t like it eh. :p
This is an excellent recipe Peachy! It’s great is you’re having people over or you wanna “spoil” yourself with something delicious!:)
We never tried adding fish sauce to salsa before and are really curious as to how does it pair with the mango!
Again, fantastic work!
Yummed!
Panos and Mirella
Thank you so much Panos and Mirella!
That sounds absolutely delicious!. Either way, it’s a gluten-free recipe as well, and the fish tastes best when grilled ( can roast or grill in the oven).
