Season your fish well: Before frying the fish, season it with a flavorful blend of spices. This will help to enhance the taste of the fish.
Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are essential for the best fish tacos. You can either make your own tortillas or purchase them from a local Mexican grocery store.
Load up your tacos: Once you have fried the fish and prepared the tortillas, it's time to load up your tacos. Add your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and salsa.
Serve with a squeeze of lime: A squeeze of lime is the perfect finishing touch for fish tacos. The lime juice adds a bright and tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients.
