What’s Delicious at Kindle?
At Kindle Communications, we are proud to have not only talented producers, writers, designers, and creative directors, but also brilliant chefs!
We have a long-standing tradition of deliciousness here, which started way back when Kindle Communications was first formed, and we were working out of one of our Partner’s homes. We had our first client, our first launch meeting booked, work to do and a fast-approaching deadline, so we set up camp in the dining room of our Executive Producer.
It was summer, and the long, hot Chicago summer days were perfect for a light lunch. The other Kindlers would come over and cook lunch for the folks who were working on the show, like personal chefs! Fish Taco day was the favorite, and became another Kindle Campfire Legend.
At long last, brought to you here, is the recipe for Fish Tacos. Trust me, they are tasty – and easy to make!
Kindle Fish Tacos – read on for the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb fish per person (one good size filet). You can use either fresh grouper or catfish – our favorite place in Chicago to get fresh fish is L. Isaacson & Stein Fish Company on Fulton (right around the corner from our Kindle offices!)
- Bread crumbs and flour (for a light breading on the fish)
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- Milk
- Jalapenos
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Onion
- Cilantro
- Cheddar cheese (or the cheese of your choice)
- Tortillas (flour or corn)
Recipe Directions:
- Rinse the fish filets under cold water
- Place the fish in a bowl of milk
- Mix some flour and breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Season the breadcrumbs with a little salt and pepper
- Dredge the fish filets in the breadcrumb mixture
- In a cast-iron skillet heat some olive oil – (you can use a non-stick skillet, but we like cast iron). Heat the oil until it almost is smoking (meaning very hot).
- Place the lightly breaded fish filets in the skillet and cook about 8 – 10 minutes per side (the time needed will depend on how hot the skillet is — the hotter the better).
- Chop the jalapenos, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lettuce (the good stuff). Watch out for the jalapenos – don’t wipe your eyes! (We like our Fish Tacos extra spicy here at Kindle)
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet
- When the fish is cooked, remove from the pan, and slice into strips or chop into chunks.
- Build a tempting fish taco with all the ingredients and have fun!
Although it’s still winter with spring fast approaching, this Kindle Fish Taco recipe will give you a little taste of summer in Chicago.
