HEALTHY FISH TACOS

These fish tacos are fresh, flakey, and flavorful. Whether you eat this fish as a salad or wrapped in taco shells, it is best when topped with your choice of toppings and dressing. My favorite restaurant style salsa, fresh guacamole, and pineapple pico de gallo can be found here. A light, healthy, and delicious recipe perfect any time of the year.
