Fish Tacos

These fish tacos are delicious and flavorful, you will have a hard time believing they are so healthy for you. The boys at Duckinapot have had many fish tacos over the years, from the beer battered and fried staple fish tacos loved by California and baja surfers to the sterile, no taste, trendy fish tacos served to the Orange County “Real Housewives” types restaurants like the True Foods Kitchen restaurant.
We decided to go healthy this week, so we scoured the internet and found our top five fish taco recipes and pieced our own recipe together using the best of each recipe. We were not sure if it would result in a masterpiece or a Frankenstein’s monster.
We used a variety of our favorite fish fillets, salmon, mahi-mahi and halibut. We wanted to hit all the taste buds with a sledge hammer by using flavors to marinate the fillets and create toppings that married sweet, sour salty, bitter and umami all at the same time. Everything from mango, jalapenos, lime, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, onions and cilantro were added to the mix.
After putting it all together and inviting our friends over to try them out, we found the results were more than successful. Thumbs up all around.
