I'm not a big fan of fish tacos, but these were actually really good. The fish was cooked perfectly and the toppings were really flavorful.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely try them again with less pepper.

The fish was a bit bland for my taste, but the toppings really made the dish. I especially liked the avocado and the pickled onions.

I was skeptical about using lettuce shells instead of tortillas, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked. They held up really well and didn't get soggy.
