[dropcap size=big]'H[/dropcap]oy no se come carne.” The refrain of “no meat today” is clear from my childhood for forty days and forty nights each year. For those of us who grew up in Catholic or semi-Catholic homes in Southern California, Lent was always about meatless Fridays and looking forward to a massive carne asada on Easter Sunday. Fish, shrimp, tostadas de jaiba, all matter of mariscos, were guaranteed for dinner.
In honor of that custom of Latino life here, the L.A. Taco staff put together this list of our favorite fish and shrimp tacos, ceviches, and other great seafood places in the Los Angeles area. For those of you who adhere to the tradition, Lent started this week on Ash Wednesday (March 6) and ends on April 18.
So you have have at least six Fridays to fill with these delicious mariscos.
