"Baja Style" Fish Tacos

"I lived at the southern tip of Baja California for about 8 years. I remember the local tourism rag (dubbed the "Gringo Gazette") hosted a cooking contest, to try and create a true local and indigenous dish. I read about it too late to enter, but it got me to thinking about what an indigenous dish at the tip of a desert state would be! Most all other famous Mexican dishes come from various other states in mainland Mexico. What was Baja's big contribution? Turns out ... FISH TACOS! Aside from the fish, the other big difference is the contribution of a fairly standard Gringo-Style coleslaw. I could never really figure that one out. So, one day I asked one of my good friends, who was actually born in San Jose del Cabo (one of the very few "true" locals), what the deal was with coleslaw. She said that because Baja Sur was at the very tip of a 1000 mile long stretch of land and that it's mostly desert, not a lot grows in the area. So, it's a lot of fish, plus whatever is shipped down from the states. As a result, mayonnaise and other US standards are quite common in the indigenous households of Baja California Sur (interestingly including Hot Dogs ... which, while speaking Spanish, she called "Weenies", not "Salchichas", like most Mexicans. Made me chuckle, every time she said it). How do they serve weenies in Baja Sur, you might ask ... ? WRAPPED IN BACON!! A really good fish taco is made with good fresh fish, excellent fresh salsa, your favorite totally average and non-descript slightly sweet and gooey coleslaw and ... ripe avocado! EAT!..."
