Directions
1.
Place mango, avocado, scallion, cilantro, juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; toss gently, for salsa. Set aside.
2.
Combine cornmeal, cumin, chili powder and remaining 1-1/4 teaspoons salt in a bowl; add fish and toss until coated well (discard excess coating); set aside.
3.
Using 2 tablespoons oil, lightly brush onto one side of each tortilla. Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat. Add tortillas in pairs with uncoated sides together and cook, turning once, until just golden and starting to crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel.
4.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add jalapeno and fish; toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Soon into paired taco shells. Serve with salsa, lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.

Grilled Fish Tacos

A grilled fish taco is a beautiful thing to eat. San Diego and points south are where they originated. Although many of the fish tacos in the area are fried, the grilled ones really stand out and are much lighter. Meredith Deeds grew up in San Diego and taught me the ins and outs of the fish taco. These are an adaptation of her mom's recipe.
