#foodtoot It's always encouraging when something I cook gets an "I like it!" and this one is pretty simple.

Several hours before you start cooking, mix: 2 tbsp avocado oil; 1/2 tsp's worth of lime zest; 1 tbsp's worth of lime juice; a minced clove of garlic; 1 tsp chili powder; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1 tsp dried oregano; a pinch of black pepper; and 1/4 tsp salt. Throw 340g cod (3 filets) into a ziploc bag and add the marinade.

When ready, bake 15 mins at 200C. Good with mashed potatoes and salad.

Before yesterday, my only experience with Mexican food was chain restaurants serving 1) chicken or beef; 2) hard shell or soft shell; and 3) the same 5 toppings, combined over and over again into infinite permutations of inedible garbage.

That changed yesterday night. We went to a taqueria close to our house and had hand-smash potatoes along with tiny fish, shrimp and chicken tacos. Everything was small, but everything was delicious. I realized I'd never eaten Mexican until now, and I love it.

@frogzone You're reminding me of my favorite entry in the Jargon File aka the Hacker's Dictionary:

recursion: n. See recursion.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Nah.

A Mexican taqueria in my neighborhood has an excellent name:

"Local Dealer"
