FISH TACOS BY LUCY TWEED
Every Night Of The Week is the lovechild of a career-driven Sydney based food stylist and family devoted mum, Lucy Tweed. Lucy’s food M.O. is authentic and straightforward. Her focus is on clean ingredients, supporting local businesses, balancing the diets of her family, deliciousness and of course the necessary hack or shortcut we are all looking for. Rich in warmth, humour, simplicity and visually stunning food photography, Lucy discovered a mass of like-minded people/followers/comrades/friends(!) who relished in her real-time commentary of family, business, relationships, and above all great flavours.
Such is the appeal of Lucy’s signature, a somewhat wayward style, that her Instagram account has grown from a handful of solution seekers to a hefty community of over 26,000, and the first ENOTW book landed on shelves in Aug 2021, and is available for purchase online.

1C SOUR CREAM
METHOD
1. TOSS THE FISH IN THE PANKO CRUMBS AND FRY TILL GOLDEN IN BATCHES.
2. COOKING IS ESSENTIALLY DONE. EXCEPT FOR CHARRING THE CORN ON THE BBQ. YOU CAN CHEAT HERE AND BOIL OR CRACK A CAN BUT THE BURNT BITS DO REALLY TASTE GREAT. JUST PEEL THEM BACK, OIL UP AND PUT OVER FLAME. FORGET, RUN OUT, ROTATE. SIMPLE. (A GOOD TIME TO THROW THE SOFT TACOS ON THE SIDE OF THE GRILL IN FOIL TOO!)
3. MIX THE CUT KERNELS WITH THE BEANS. LIME JUICE, PECORINO AND OIL. S&P TO TASTE.
4. BLITZ THE GUAC SAUCE INGREDIENTS IN SOMETHING FAST AND FURIOUS. IT'S A TRULY DELICIOUS CONDIMENT.
5. ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW IS ASSEMBLY… I STILL CAN'T BARE THEM TO STUFF UP THE FIRST ONE, SO I USUALLY MAKE IT… THEN THEY’RE ON THEIR OWN! IT’S ALL YOU CAN DO TO SHOW THEM A GOOD LIFE. MY ELDEST SON HATES, SPICY STUFF, AVO AND SOUR CREAM. HE ATE THE ONE I MADE WITH EVERYTHING AND LOVED IT. #PARENTHOOD
NB. YOU COULD POTENTIALLY PREP ALL OF THIS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND JUST BLITZ THE GUAC, DRESS THE SALSA AND FRY THE FISH BEFORE EATING.
