These Beer Battered Fish Tacos are like a setup to a corny joke—an Englishman, a Japanese guy, and a Mexican walk into a bar. But there’s no punchline. They walked into a bar because they want tacos and beer, okay? Not everything exists solely for your amusement. Can’t three guys of three different ethnicities just walk into a bar and order some Beer Battered Fish Tacos and a few cold ones and be left to their own devices? No. They can’t. The Mexican and Japanese guys made the Englishman say “drawings” over and over until they fell off their stools. DRAWRINGS. DRAWRINGS. DRAWRINGS. DRAWRINGS. DRAWRINGS.
