This morning I found myself in a high power meeting involving the heads of multimillion dollar corporations discussing the fate of humanity and the Earth's ecosystem. After about 4 hours of intense brainstorming and collaborating, we all decide that the best immediate action to be taken was...lunch. A popular lunch venue for the local offices happened to be a place called King's. I've been to the one in Las Vegas, but only for sushi and before I discovered my obsession with Fish Tacos. If you've never had the pleasure, the place seems like your standard middle to upper class seafood franchise. Sort of like the Macaroni Grill for seafood.

Anyway, we grab a seat, our waiter brings us a cut wedge of sourdough and some pats of butter, asks us about drinks and disappears. We then decide to continue the conversation on the salvation of the world for bit while we peruse the menu. I had a pretty good idea what I was going to order and kept it to myself until we were visited by the waiter again.

So, As soon as the waiter arrives I order...get this...Blackened Swordfish Tacos. Because here, you can order fish tacos with ANY fish on the menu! Huzzah! I also ordered a small mixed green salad with bleu cheese dressing, but that's besides the point and irrelevant at this juncture. After a short wait my tacos arrived and they looked good.

They're were 4 of them. Each one on a single, firm corn tortilla. As you can see, there was a single slab of blackened swordfish nestled on a bed of finely shredded green cabbage and blanketed with a pico de gallo, fresh cilantro and crumbled, mild feta. All this with a welcoming half of lime.

This was a well thought out presentation compared to Wahoo's or Roberto's. I was delighted and ready to eat. Upon first bite, I was immediately taken to a magical place where Smurfs ride Care Bears and the rivers run freely with sparkling Voss. These were good tacos, and I invented them! I take full credit. And for allowing me to create these...um...creations, I must thank this so-called King's place. Allowing the client a smidgen of creative input works. I am familiar with this tip.

Anyway, here's the gist.
Blackened Swordfish Tacos (4) - $7.95(?) The one's I ordered I have the feeling might have been a little more costly because they were a more entree style and less appetizer style as explained in the menu. I would know the exact amount had I participated in the cheque.

Ingredients: Blackened swordfish, pico de gallo, cilantro, shredded green cabbage, corn tortilla and a half of lime (on the side)

I highly recommend these and would definitely return with the possible intent of trying it with a different fish. Go get one.
