I use this sauce for my fish tacos. You can make this ahead and keep in the fridge. You can substitute any hot sauce for the sriracha.

FISH TACO SAUCE

To save time, I oven-bake breaded or battered frozen fish (but if we had a deep fryer, I'd probably use it). I slice cabbage very thin, it works better for the tacos than shredded cabbage. Add your favorite tortillas, and you have an easy, crunchy, and great tasting meal. Prep time is just for making the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use the right fish. White fish, such as tilapia, cod, or halibut, are all good choices for fish tacos. They are mild in flavor and flaky, which makes them perfect for tacos.
  • Season the fish well. Before cooking, season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fish properly. Fish tacos are best when the fish is cooked through but still flaky. Avoid overcooking the fish, as this will make it tough and dry.
  • Use fresh tortillas. Fresh tortillas are essential for fish tacos. They are softer and more pliable than store-bought tortillas, and they will hold up better to the fillings.
  • Load up the tacos. Fish tacos are all about the toppings. Be generous with the fillings, such as shredded cabbage, Pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
  • Serve the tacos with a squeeze of lime. A squeeze of lime adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the tacos that really brings all the flavors together.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish tacos a try.
