I don’t know why we don’t eat fish tacos more often. Every time we I make them it’s pretty much just deliciousness. Serious deliciousness. These ones were no different. Fish tacos are so simple and fresh tasting too. Gosh I just love them. And that cool crunch that normally comes along with fish tacos? Makes them that much better. Our crunch came in the form of cabbage slaw with the simple but superb addition of feta added in.
This recipe isn’t an exact science. I didn’t measure anything so all amounts are guesstimates. It’s more of a method or guide than recipe. Take what you can, and roll with it for your next taco Tuesday night. Oh and full disclosure… we totally ate them on a Monday, shhhhh.

Our after dinner/before bed time routine includes the kiddos and I heading outside and watering the garden (the key I’ve found for actually having a successful garden, who knew?). We have a major squash, tomato and kale explosion going on here!
