Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! LOVE fish tacos but could not find a good recipe!! Thank you, thank you!!
Wow that looks great, I think I am definately going to have to try this one out. It's a pity I don't have the ingredients on hand or I would be cooking right now!
those are some seriously professional looking tacos and pictures.
I LOVE fish tacos, but I've never tried to make them at home.
Guess that'll have to change!
These look great! I can't wait to make em.
Do you have a recipe for homemade taco seasoning?

Enjoy!!
My goodness they even look delicious. By coincidence, I have a nice big chunk of cod to play with...hmmm.
Thanks for the recipe.
I love fish tacos but have never had them like this. I usually roll the fish in cornmeal then fry it then put it in the taco shell. But this way sounds very good. I will try it. Thanks. Your pictures make them look gooooood.
Living in So Ca they have become a staple for when I order at Mexican shops. But just a few years ago, I wasn't having anything to do with them. The thought of a FISH taco scared me. Then I made myself try some and never looked back! I've even made them at home. YUM!
You can make them with frozen fish sticks too.
I aaked someone a while back, what fish tacos were like, and they said that they were just fish sticks in a taco shell.
That sounds okay, but I haven't gotten up the gumption to try them
But THESE? I will definitely be giving them a try !
First and foremost thank you for following me!! I feel so honored! Now then, these tacos look sooooo yummy! Sounds like I may not even mess up this recipe. But we never know around here. Momma set off a few smoke detectors in her time. I always figured it as a timer.Thank you for sharing. You always take such good pictures.
Those tacos look good!
I made this last night and they were amazing- great recipe!!
