Growing up in Los Angeles, I’ve had more than my fair share of tacos. These ingredients below happen to be my favorite! Peppery radishes, a flavorful salsa, creamy avocado and plenty of vegetables make for an unbeatable taco.
They’re the perfect meal, filling but won’t weigh you down! Let’s be honest… any reason is a GOOD reason to make fish tacos!
How could you say no to something with all of these fresh ingredients?! The cabbage gives amazing crunch and a slight sweetness that really adds to the overall finish.

How do you make fish taco seasoning?
I like to marinate my fish in a combination of lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper but you can add cayenne, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, oregano, onion or garlic powder.
All fished up and ready to go! I always overstuff my tacos and never regret it! LOL
Ready to serve! You can add or subtract any of the toppings in the tacos. Substituting a store-bought salsa and or guacamole is definitely a time-saver and will still taste great!
