From "Mexican Light Cooking, " by Kathi Long (Perigee
Books by Putnam).

Halve or quarter the fish filets so they will fit into
a medium-sized saucepan. Combine the chicken broth,
jalapeno juice and lime juice. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat to medium-low. Add the fish pieces and
simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat
and let the fish cool in the liquid for 30 minutes.
Remove the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Place
the fish in a medium-size bowl and break into flakes
with your fingers or a fork. Add the scallions and
tomato and toss to mix. Season with the salt and
pepper. Arrange 2 tablespoons of the fish filling down
the center of each taco shell. Divide the lettuce
among the shells and top each taco with 1 tablespoon
tomatillo salsa.
