Grilled Fish Tacos

Grilled Fish Tacos

A few years ago if you would have offered me Fish Tacos, I probably would have said “NO”!

As I have probably mentioned before though, I am marrying a fish-lover. Fish has tons of health benefits and we are trying to include [sustainable] seafood in our diets on a more regular basis. The more that I experiment with fish, the more I enjoy it, although I am sure my parents wish I would have been more willing to try seafood when I was growing up, they are glad to see me enjoying it now.

Grilled Talapia Fish Tacos

These Fish Tacos are filled with delicious flavors. The fish is fresh and fabulous and it is topped with some amazing accompaniments. Just look at these photos – how can you NOT want to dive right in!?

The same way that you would play with flavors and toppings in your beef or chicken tacos – feel free to play with these too. We used Soft Shells, but Hard Tacos would be perfect too. You can top with cheese, or leave it off. Fresh Cilantro is always a great way to finish off tacos. A sliced Avocado was perfectly creamy on these as well. Make these tacos your own & enjoy the freshness 🙂

  2. Pre-Heat Grill to high. We prefer to use a Grill Basket and grill for about 10 – 15 minutes on high until it will flake apart easily – you can see that it is starting to almost separate at the fish-seams, and is no longer translucent.
