Cabo Fish Taco

Tonight I ate in Charlotte, NC, at Cabo Fish Taco with my dear friends Christy and Rachel. Cabo Fish Taco is a restaurant which was featured on Guy Fieri's show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.


Since I cannot eat seafood around Brad (yes, I know...it sucks), I went to town on two fish tacos. Wahoo fish tacos because tuna is not environmentally-kosher right now.

This is what a sign said on the table:

Due to previous years of oil spills and overfishing all types of tuna are being held by FDA and extremely scarce.  We value providing our customers with fresh tuna.  We also understand to sustain our business we must also sustain our environment.  Please understand as we are only temporarily substituting all of our dishes that include tuna with fresh Wahoo.  We will hopefully be able to return to our regular menu within the next month or so.  Thank you for your understanding and your patronage.

My tacos, and the accompanying black beans and rice, were delicious. The taco shell was flash-fried, which gave it just the right amount of crisp without the yucky greasy feel or taste that tacos can sometimes have. The fish was flavorful and flaky, and the honey-wasabi sauce was absolutely to die for. Both tacos had all the fixings, too...avocados, tomatoes, lettuce, you name it. As Guy would say, "It was winner, winner chicken dinner!" Except, it wasn't chicken.  And despite what anyone tells you, fish does not taste like chicken.

Here's a picture:
