Breaded blue grenadier (fish) tacos with papaya, avocado, dragon fruit & cherry tomato

Happy New Year everyone! 2020 has gotten off to a really good start for me already and I really hope your year will be fantastic too. To kick off the year I’ve created a delicious taco recipe using a type of fish I had never had before back in Europe: Australian Blue Grenadier. I was inspired by my first visit to the South Melbourne market, where I had some amazing fish tacos at the APTUS seafood bar. I’ve always loved adding fruit and sweet ingredients to my taco’s so I added papaya, dragon fruit, avocado and cherry tomatoes.

Making these tacos is very easy, we first dust the fish in flour, then dip it in egg and then coat it with panko breadcrumbs. All that’s left then is to fry them in some oil and to chop up the fruit.

I must say I’m really enjoying all the food here in Australia, from Wagyu beef to Barramundi, from schnitzels to dumplings. There are lot of new ingredients I’m discovering but also a lot of meals, not just from the Australian cuisine but also the Asian one as there is a huge amount of Asian food around the place. I’ll be sharing a new dumpling recipe soon as well, inspired by some really tasty ones I’ve had here.
