Steelhead Brewery, Irvine, CA


Tonight I sampled the fish tacos at Steelhead Brewery in Irvine. The menu features: 'Three corn tortillas wrapped around our beer battered Alaskan halibut, topped with cheese and shredded cabbage, served with guacamole, salsa, black beans and wild rice.' $13.95


The tortillas were small and marginal. Of the 3, one was blue corn and 2 were yellow. The fish was the same fish from the fish and chips and had a delightfully crunchy exterior. The fish itself was relatively tasteless...not in a bad way, just very flavor neutral. Our waitress suggested I add some of the chipotle tartar sauce served with the fish and chips. I complied and her reco and found it to be a great addition.The sides of beans and rice were marginal, but ultimately unnecessary since the 3 tacos were very filling.


My Bombay Bomber IPA was a great foil for the richness of the fish and very hoppy in its finish.


We need an overall ranking system and categories.


Next time here I will try the grilled fish tacos.


Our waitress suggested the following:
