Author Notes
I have been making variation of fish tacos for years. We do not live in an area that offers much street food, so we have had to adapt:)
I like this recipe with the touch of sweet combined with the smoky & spiciness of the slaw. I have pan fried the fish, just used spices and grilled it. Add ripe fresh tomatoes, extra cilantro, a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of sour cream and you are about to embark on a bite of pure bliss —motherchic
