Tips:
- Use fresh fish: Fresh fish will give your tacos the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fish, frozen fish will also work, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Season the fish well: Don't be afraid to season the fish generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the fish and make your tacos more delicious.
- Cook the fish properly: The fish should be cooked until it is flaky and opaque. If you overcook the fish, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a good quality tortilla: The tortilla is an important part of the taco, so be sure to use a good quality one. Corn tortillas are traditional, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer.
- Load up on toppings: Tacos are all about the toppings! Be sure to include a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sour cream.
- Serve with a wedge of lime: A wedge of lime is the perfect finishing touch for fish tacos. It adds a bit of acidity and brightness to the tacos.
