As we stare out onto the beach, we can smell the fish cooking on the grill. As my dad walks up the steps with the platter of fish, we all look back down to the table at the surrounding ingredients. One of my favorite hands on meals to make and eat is Fish Tacos. Not only are Fish Tacos delicious, but they are also entertaining to make.
The main component of Fish Tacos is obviously the fish. When deciding on a fish, it is best to stick with a white, mild fish. An example of this type of fish is Grouper, triggerfish, or even a slightly denser fish like Mahi-Mahi. The fish should either be grilled or fried. However, if you are trying to stay healthy, stick with the grilled. The fish is extremely delicate and tends to break up on the grill, so make sure you lay a piece of tin foil underneath the filet. The fish does not need much seasoning, a little olive oil, lemon, and pepper goes a long way. Limited seasoning on the fish is also recommended because of all the other flavors you are adding to your taco.
Ingredients that can be added to the tacos are chopped parsley, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and special fish taco sauce. Another great add in is diced tomato salsa. This special sauce is yogurt based, and low fat or Greek yogurt can be substituted for a healthier option. This sauce is usually spicy and adds the most flavor to the mild fish.
Not only is this meal delicious but also extremely healthy. It is a great option when you’re craving that greasy Mexican food.

This sounds great! It makes me think about summer. I have always wanted to try fish tacos but never have because I guess I'm scared that I won't like them. This has made me really want to try them though.
ReplyDeleteLike I said in my Blog Post, the taco nowadays is very different from the original Mexican taco. It became a very popular American food. It can contain any types of vegetables, meat, fish or spices but as long as it has the tortilla it can be called a taco.
ReplyDeleteHannah! I like that you include a healthy way and a non healthy way to make fish tacos. I also like that you can use more than one type of fish. I had never tried fish tacos before because I didn't like the idea of mixing seafood and mexican food. Since I tried them with you, fish tacos are one of my favorite dishes now
