the fin sticks out like a shark.

Especially her like secret almond oil,
nutty peanut oil that is drenched up,
that just like gives it the edge.
Everything just perfectly stacked.
Stacked into the most beautiful
tostada you'll ever see

Look at that.
I think also one of the
joys of eating a tostada
is just they're kind of
awkward to eat actually,
you don't really know
whether to bite them.
They are served with a spoon

and see what happens, you

He just fully cooks them in batter,
straight into the oil
and they deep fry in this like unique pan
where the fish can then,
once it's finished cooking,
he can put it lifted out onto

An original, Ensenada fish taco
(Mark speaks in foreign language)
Again, just like that perfect, crunchy.
Oh, okay, thank you.
I don't know if tomatoes is necessary.
(Mark speaks in foreign language)
Tomatoes and onions and cilantro
and then I'm gonna go get some cabbage.
The bready crunchiness
of that, and it's so hot.
A must is the cabbage.
Some of that green salsa.
and then the red salsa
and then finally a bit, the
extra picante, extra spicy.
(chuckles)
- [Man] The more spicy one, good.
- All right, that looks perfect.
Okay, one more ingredient we need topping
is like sour cream.

English: 
A bit of that, all right, perfect.
The different salsas.
I might have over cabbaged it though.
That cabbage and the fried lump of fish.
- [Jeffery] There it is.
The first bite of the original fish taco.
- Again, that's just like
everything it needs to be.
The simplicity, the sauces,
the cabbage is a must.
The fish, it just melts in
your mouth, It's so soft.
Simple, delicious, refreshing.
Refreshing even though it's fried.
That really is everything it needs to be.
I love the way the fish just
like melts in your mouth.
(soft music)
The final bite.
(Upbeat music)

English: 
I like the slice of that fish though.
- The tortilla looks better.
Its got a very unusual
cut of cabbage, right?
- Its like its been spiralized.
- So right across the street,
there's another fish taco stand.
Which they also make fish tacos
and just for research purposes
we have decided to walk across the street
and try them too, for the second fish taco
and it looks really good.
They're frying it fresh
in a similar fashion
but the strips of fish almost
look like flatter and wider.
- Which I like the idea.
There's a little bit
of better ratio.
- Kind of like flatter
(mumbles) with a different tortilla
The cabbage is very, very finely shaved.
Jeffrey has already dressed it
with some (speaking in foreign language)
some of the cabbage
and some of the onions.

English: 
(chuckles)
You're not happy with
your red sauce ratio.
It's your first bite?
- [Jeffery] They're we go.
- Going in.
- Oh my God, is it better?
- It's awesome.
That breading on their fish is incredible.
It's not so fluffy.
It has some spice in it.
- I refuse to admit,
- So hot and fresh.
- That this is better than the original.
I won't do it, I won't admit
that this is incredible.
- It's incredible like the
fish melts in your mouth again.
It's almost like a different
type of fish almost.
Like the one they're using

English: 
at the place across the
street is more buttery.
And it's like a more
like breadier coating,
deep fried coating.
This one is more firm, the fish.
Less breading and taste more spicious.
The tortilla is like nice and charred.
The tortilla is nice and charred yeah
and then like similar toppings I'd say.
The salsas are good all around.
The salsas are good but that
is tasty, simple, flavorful.
That's fresh, that's delicious.
The cabbage in that may need sour cream.
Paco, how do you like it?
- Less breading
- Breading.
and you can taste better the fish.
- [Jeffery] It's almost worth
getting one for the road.

English: 
We are not gonna eat for like an hour.
- [Scott] It's gonna be a while, yeah.
- And with that fish taco, two fish tacos,
one across the street from each other
that completes this brief, quick
but extraordinarily delicious and historic
and memorable and hospitable
and just ultimate pillar
street food tour of Ensenada.
The people are friendly,
the food incredible.
It's so laid back and the
quality of the seafood,
the quality of the shellfish
will just blow you away
and the highlight, really not even joking.
One of the greatest,
one of the best street
food stalls in the world.
Sabina, she is a legend.
She's a culinary hero.
She is worth coming to Ensenada.
I would just go straight
to Sabina to her stall.
Eat as many tostadas as you possibly can.
