Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Fish tacos are a staple among California surfers but are often beer-battered and fried. Chef Kerry Simon’s healthier, grilled version enriches the guacamole with low-fat sour cream.

WINE Fish tacos automatically bring to mind California and Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Go for a coastal Chardonnay as a match. The focused, lemony 2005 Ramey Sonoma Coast is a great choice, as is the peachy 2006 Cambria Katherine’s Vineyard.
