FISH TACOS | The Taco Series Pt 3

Fish Tacos are one of those foods that can really suck. Watery, unseasoned fish. Even worse, fishy fish or undressed flavorless slaw. We could go on. Point is, this fish taco recipe is none of those things. We've composed a thoughtful taco with a spicy mayo sauce that you can go ahead and put on anything. This one's perfect for summertime taco Tuesday...or any day.

IF YOU MAKE THESE TACOS: note that there's an error in the video for the amount of salt used for the spicy mayo. You should use closer to 2g salt NOT 15g in the spicy mayo...unless you like things extra salty. You do you.

Dude, washing the onions first is a must know tip that you taught me. Gratitude.

i have seen a bunch of recipes on coleslaw, and have made it a bunch of times, but that salad spinner trick is a new one for me and it's damn good.

Made this tacos recipe from scratch for the first time. It was so good and delicious, even my husband liked it. It will stay on my menu. Thank you for sharing.
