Fish tacos embody Ensenada’s history in one bite: Fresh fish from pristine waters encased in crispy batter influenced by Asian immigrants, topped with Spanish-inspired creamy sauces, wrapped up in a very Mexican corn tortilla and spiked with chile. We seek out some of the best versions at Mariscos El Norteño, a stall opposite the Ensenada Fish market, and a 30-year old corner stand Los Originales El Chopipo. No trip to Ensenada would be complete for a foodie without a stop at La Guerrerense where Sabina Bandera Gonzalez has been serving the best seafood ceviches and tostadas for more than 29 years. There Rick savors a mixed platter of shellfish and amazing sea urchin tostadas. A stop at Marco Antonio has Rick indulging in shrimp tacos with chipotle cream. Seriously good. In Chicago, Rick hosts a seafood taco party complete with the secrets to making outstanding fried fish tacos at home.

We moved to Ensenada in the early 60’s and lived there until the late 70’s then I came back to finish High School and College back in the USA, I was an avid fisherman and spear fishing kid back then. I remembered most of the locations you mentioned and I’m so fond of the fish tacos, that is comfort food to me.

Seeing Rick's daughter lovingly look at him just makes me think... In life you can only be so lucky to have someone look at you the way Rick looks at tomatoes, onions, and peppers!

All of these recipes look fantastic. I've even made the Ensenada style fish tacos before. They're a bit of work but end result is absolutely outstanding! Thanks Rick!
