Murloco Taco Supreme

From the World of Warcraft MMORPG

Today I have for you the recipe for the best "fish" tacos in Azeroth. We've all seen the amusing and somewhat perplexing t-shirts. In the super popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft, Murlocs are a race of humanoid hut-dwelling amphibious fish creatures. Known for the annoying sound they make, their less than attractive appearance, their ability to come out of nowhere to gang up on you, and their talent of running away and alerting the whole freaking tribe of your presence... It's a wonder why anyone would ever want to kill and eat them. Anyway, it is true what J!NX says (the original creators of the Murloco's Tacos T-Shirt), that one does get tired of eating cooked bear meat day after day, and a nice fresh Murloco Taco Supreme is just the thing to wake those taste buds up! Though there are apparently Murloco's Taco locations everywhere from Orgrimmar to Silvermoon, sometimes you just don't want to waste all that time flying from flight path to flight path. The recipe is a delicious traditional Baja-style "fish" taco with a few small twists of my own.They are really simple to make, and a decent portion of the ingredients list is stuff you are likely to already have in your kitchen and none of it is terribly expensive. You can add some Murloc eyes and scales if you want, but I don't see why you would. Combine this with my Barbecued Buzzard Wings and Crunchy Spider Surprise and you could have yourself a WoW feast at your next LAN party.


Ingredients:

For the slaw:

1/2 c. chopped tomato

1/2 c. chopped green onions

1 lime

1/2 c. shredded cabbage

1/2 c. chopped avocado

2 tbs. cilantro

1 chopped, seeded, de-veined jalepeno

salt and pepper to taste


For the sauce:

1/4 c. plain yoghurt

1/4 c. mayonnaise

2 tsp. cumin

dash of hot sauce

2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 1/2 tbs. fresh dill

1/4 tsp. cayenne


For everything else:

1 1/2 lb. flaky white murloc meat (mahi mahi, cod, tilapia…)

1 c. beer of your choice (non-alcoholic beer will work great too)

1 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

canola, vegetable or safflower oil

corn tortillas


Directions:
In a medium sized bowl mix together the tomato, green onions, jalapeno, cabbage, avocado, cilantro, lime, salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, dill and cayenne. Stir yoghurt mixture together until smooth. Leave both mixtures as they are for now. In yet another bowl combine the flour, beer and salt. Stir thoroughly together until creamy, smooth and as lump free as possible. Cut up your pieces of fish into about 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces. Add your fish to the beer batter mixture. Make sure all pieces are coated thoroughly. Heat some canola oil in a thick high-sided pot. Add the coated fish to hot oil, fry for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to drain. On a pan-warmed tortilla, add a few pieces of fish. On top of fish, drizzle some of the white sauce, generously. Add some of your slaw on top of that. Sprinkle the whole thing with some additional lime juice, and add sour cream and some extra hot sauce if desired. Makes apprx. 7-10 tacos.
