Which is your favorite Baja Fish to cook?
What is your favorite Baja Fish to cook and eat? Were not talking Sushi here. That would produce different results.

Mine is Actually White Seabass but it's not on your list.
Here's some WSB Ceviche, not technically sushi.....
Here's a shot of my next second favorite Baja fish: Grilled Halibut with rosemary, bacon and butter.
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions

Taco de Baja,
Sorry I didn't list White Sea Bass a very tastie fish I agree. I knew I'd leave off a popular choice.
Sorry if I left off any others.

Yeah Fred...Forgot the Pacifico. Shame on me.
I guess I've never had a properly cooked meal of Yellowtail. It just doesn't appeal to me as a frontrunner on this list.

Sharky has a point triggers are pretty tasty, not in my top few but pretty darn good as long as I don't have to fillet them.

I wonder if the mahi-mahi would have more votes if you had called it dorado?
It's my second favorite, and may be one of the most popular US restaurants.

Ditto on Triggers, fried, sauteed or in ceviche, Much maligned but best texture/consistency for me and the cat agrees.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Corbina
Croaker
Calico Bass
Trigger Fish...
The varieties one catches from the beach...
You do list halibut, which we catch near Laguna Manuela (Variety Beach)... so I will vote for that on your list! Corvina is also a surf fish and good
too! Halibut wins because it has four filets!

Does that make me a cannibal?
Actually - it's sweeter than halibut, makes a great taco or takes a sauce well. Great with fancy wine or cheap beer. Difficult to BBQ unless you do
the whole fish.
Scale and de-fin - cut 4 lateral slits on each side, smother with a lime juice-serrano-garlic-tomatillo-cilantro poltice, wrap in foil-throw on BBQ
and....ahhhhhh...better than $ex!OK, not really, but $ex will be better after you chow down one of these babies!!!! (are we still doing the over 18
thing here?)
Hey, if you survive the landing, the filleting process or even de-finning to bake whole - the rest is gravy - you're styling!

Boned Yellowtail steaks are my all-time favorite.
Specifically, steaks from Ifly's almost 50 pounder !!
Best fish I ever tasted !
And Sierra for fish tacos - yummy !!

The last time I had the forbidden fish was in 2003 at Gonzaga Bay... unknown to me until after I ate the prepared meal at a restaurant... It was so
outstanding, I asked the nice lady who ran the kitchen what kind of fish it was. She put her finger to her lips (making the 'be quite' gesture) and
whipered "totuava".
I remember when you could order it at Anthony's Sea Food Grotto in San Diego!
Alas, over fishing, netting them heading to the spawning area, and perhaps low outflow from the Colorado River has been hard on the giant croaker. In
1967, my 9-10 year old friend caught a baby one on a fresh water rod/reel at (Bahia Santa Maria)... we estimated at 50 pounds... It got away just as
he was landing it.
