Fish as a filling in Mexican food - yes or no?

Does fish (or any kind of seafood) have a place in Mexican food? Or is that a big no-no?

Consider these options....

Fish taco

Fish burrito

Fish quesadilla

Fish nachos

Will that be OK or should the fish be sent back where it belongs with the chips?

Update:

what about curried or garlic prawns or seafood mornay or chili crab in a burrito? does it have a chance?

    since parts of Mexico border oceans, I would say that yes fish play a part in Mexican cuisine.

    ALL countries have different foods in different parts of the country and Mexico is no different.

  • 5797 miles of coastline in Mexico. Many people in Mexico live on fish. Does that help?

    If Mexico has a shoreline - and people fish there, then who is eating the stuff if it is not in their diet already?

    Try finding original recipes from the fishing ports there, and use that as a starting point.

    Fish and chips the others don’t seem appetizing
