By request, here’s a garnish riff. This one can be quite dangerous. If you live on the edge and venture to bang it out, you may well incinerate your kitchen to the very ground. A blazing grease inferno indeed.

Fish tacos taste like summer. We do them in soft corn tortillas. Chunks of ripe avocado tossed with cilantro, lime and S&P. A drizzle of sour cream mixed with plain yogurt or mayo, lime zest and chipotle tabasco. Some white fish — tilapia, maybe cod. Thin sliced, lightly…
