Notes

Which types of fish can I use? For grilled fish tacos, you’ll want a mild, flaky, dense, white fish. Cod, as I’ve used in this recipe is ideal, but snapper, grouper, redfish, mahi-mahi, swordfish, haddock, halibut, flounder are great for grilling or pan-frying.

White or yellow corn tortillas? White corn tortillas are milder than yellow corn tortillas, but their flavor heightens when toasted. They also carry more moisture and are softer than yellow corn tortillas, making them perfect for tacos.
