I”m not sure I can claim to be a connoisseur of Fish Tacos but I can tell you that this is the Best Fish Taco Recipe I’ve ever tasted!

To be honest…I just started eating Fish Tacos recently. But since my son turned me on to this delicious dish I order them all the time now. If I see Fish Tacos on the menu you know that’s what I’m going to be ordering.

So far nothing has compared to this recipe though and that includes the tasty ones I ordered on a recent trip to Mexico! Yes…they were delicious but this is the Best Fish Taco Recipe I’ve ever tasted!

What makes the Best Fish Taco Recipe?

If you love Fish Tacos you may have your favorite toppings to choose from. In my opinion that is definitely one of the keys to making the Best Fish Tacos.

You definitely need to have a good selection of tasty toppings. My favorite Fish Taco Toppings are Jicama Slaw, which I shared our favorite recipe for earlier this week. It adds a great tangy crunchiness to them.

Mango Salsa is another must have topping. I love the sweetness it adds. In fact I love serving Mango Salsa with all my fish dishes.

Lastly, a creamy and spicy fish sauce brings it all together when creating the Best Fish Taco Recipe.

What type of fish makes the Best Fish Tacos?

My favorite fish to use in Fish Tacos is Mahi Mahi however, it’s not easy to get where I live. Any mild white flaky fish can be used. I used Cod in this recipe because it’s usually always available “fresh” at my local market. Fresh is definitely key. Some other types of fish that make great tacos are, snapper, grouper, halibut and flounder.

What’s the best seasoning for making the Best Fish Tacos? 

Adding seasoning to your fish really boosts the flavor in your Fish Tacos. The recipe that I used was adapted from Bobby Flay. I don’t know if my fish Taco’s could “Beat Bobby Flay” but in my opinion they’re the best!
