“There’s something fishy about Ocean Beach…”
Living on the coast promises the freshest fish. Living up the coast from Mexico promises the best tacos. But tacos and fish belong to very different food groups, according to my taste buds.
Finally one day, (caving under pressure) I ordered one to satisfy a friend. A beam of light streamed from the clouds at first bite. (Well, not really) Where had this elegantly simple solution been?
Light, flaky fried fish with crisp shredded cabbage and a slightly spicy white sauce…all in a handy wrap to eat on the run.
“I was in for a little surprise…”
One of the definitive fish tacos can be found at the unexpected, South Beach Bar & Grille in Ocean Beach. In addition to fish, there are also delectable shrimp and lobster tacos The rowdy bar can busy but seating turns over quickly as patrons steal inside for a few minutes relief from the sun. Located at the end of Newport Avenue, the view out over the ocean is sublime while you sit sipping your favorite brew, taco in hand.
