Look for evenly shaped fillets that will be easier to divide into evenly-sized portions. You could also use tilapia, sole or flounder. I often use either halibut or cod, though I prefer cod because it is thicker and firmer, so it holds up better to the battering and frying process. For these fish tacos you want to use any firm, flaky mild white fish that is available near you.If you live near a purveyor of freshly made sturdy white corn tortillas, go for corn instead. For me, flour tortillas are the best option, which is why I’ve included them in the ingredient list below. I find that my homemade corn tortillas aren’t substantial enough to hold battered fried fish, and the store-bought corn tortillas I have access to locally are often relatively dry and brittle - a recipe for a crumbling taco. I gather from all this that, unless you live in Northern Mexico with plentiful sources of fresh corn tortillas (in which case you are probably buying your tacos from a street vendor, not making them at home),it may be better to use flour tortillas for your Ensenada tacos after all.
He says to use white corn tortillas instead, so that the tortilla is merely a vessel for the toppings, not a flavor component in itself. Making an even finer distinction between types of corn tortillas, he advises home cooks to avoid handmade or heirloom corn tortillas when making Baja-style tacos. Rick Piña, owner of Ricky's Fish Tacos in Los Angeles, has a different explanation. Food and Wine says this is because a sturdy tortilla is needed to hold the battered fried fish and that the flavor of the corn tortilla shines through with the mild toppings of a Baja taco. Ensenada fish tacos, though, are generally made with corn tortillas. Unlike most of the country, in Northern regions of Mexico flour tortillas are most commonly used for tacos. Crispy beer-battered and deep-fried fish, fresh shredded cabbage and a creamy white sauce are key components, but, like any food this popular, there are plenty of variations on the style that feature additional toppings like pickled red onions, pico de gallo, avocado slices or an additional creamy sauce like an avocado or chipotle crema. They feature mild flavors and textural contrast. Looking for something else to make with your fried fish?
