Fiesta Rockfish Tacos: Guest Blog by Debbie Hemenway
These rockfish tacos are perfect for a festive dinner at home with friends and family.
Over the past thirty four years of living in Southeast Alaska I’ve caught more rockfish then I care to remember. Most of the time it was done in the pouring rain, but every now and then the sun was shining. Many different types of rockfish are found in the waters around Elfin Cove and it’s versatility lends itself to many different dishes. It has always been a weekly staple at our dinner table, and finding new ways to prepare it is always a fun challenge.
Here is a recipe that was hard for me to write down since so much of my cooking is off the cuff. I’ve done my best to approximate the measurements, but I’ve always found that the best dishes come from tasting and testing as you go along.

We are both born and raised in Alaska, land of the midnight sun and fishing at 2am. We love to find new ways to use fresh ingredients or put a modern spin on an old Alaskan classic. We hope you will enjoy tasting Alaska.
