Incredible recipe!

I used tilapia and olive oil in place of canola oil - incredible! I also had whole wheat tortillas and made a creamy sauce with the salsa and some fat-free sour cream. I mixed the brown rice with the fish, added the sauce, and there ya' go! OK, so I'm on a bit of a health kick and changed a bunch of it; however, it is truly incredible! Can't beat this - I'm done searching for a fish taco recipe!

I make this recipe almost every week. It's easy to make and tastes as good as tacos from any beach bar in California.

This was the first time I ever had fish tacos and they were amazing! My partner loves fish tacos (had them in restaurants in California) and swears these are quite possible better! Beware THOUGH there is a flaw in the recipe...for the salsa it never lists "lime juice" in the ingredients for it but it instructs you to add it when making the salsa. I went ahead and added the juice of a whole lime and it was perfect! Make sure not to substitute any of the salsa ingredients or I could see where it would not be as good...Enjoy, I know I will be again and again with this recipe!

I used Mahi Mahi, and I think I needed to cook it for another minute or two, as it was a bit greasy. Otherwise, a great easy recipe.

Only made the marinade but it was great. Easy and cooked well on the grill. Gave the fish (Mahi-mahi) a great flavor whil not being too overbearing




Rock'n Flavor Fish Tacos

Taste: The flavor of the Pureed Tomato Salsa is just perfect; the marinade has a great southwestern flavor. Preparation: Easy with basic kitchen tools. Presentation: Very nice. Placing the cabbage (both white and red) on opposite ends of a large serving plate with red onion, green onions and cilantro in between made for a attractive plate. With the sides of Pureed Tomato Salsa and Mexican Crema made the table "pop" with color. General: This is the first time that I have tried a chef Bobby Flay recipe and I am delighted. This is the most pleased I have been with a "first-time-tried" recipe. My family was also impressed. They may not ever let me go back to hamburger based tacos! I encourage anyone who likes healthy Southwestern or TexMex food to put this recipe in their basic stable of recipes. This is also a recipe that I will have fun with by trying different fish and peppers.




yummy!

This recipe was a big hit in our house. I opted to top the tacos with a cilantro cream sauce instead of just hot sauce and the family loved them. We will definately be making them again.

Great tacos and easy to prepare. A real keeper. I did make a green tomatillo and avocado salsa along with the tomato one and preferred the former. But that's just me. We had been looking for a fish taco recipe that didn't call for breaded fish. this is it! Thanks Bobby.




Average dish but great fish!

The whole dish really was fine, but nothing outstanding. The fish, however, taken by itself was wonderful. It was flavorful, incredibly moist and exceptionally easy to make. Next time I'll skip the taco accompaniments and just serve the halibut.




easy & delicious

The fish was ok, but not remarkable and we really disliked the salsa. Maybe we just like fresh salsas, but I had to throw out about a cup and a half of uneaten salsa. It was way too sweet (the onion I guess) and thoroughly blah. Sorry Bobby- they can't all be winners.




Great marinade for Mahi Mahi

Use corn tortillas
07/18/2006 at 12:20pm
User: SHARI from Marietta, GA    User Rating:
This recipe was great. As with all tacos, these are better with corn tortillas, though, instead of tasteless flour ones. I like them soft-fried in oil, just a quick turn on either side to soften them. Drain on paper towels. Or use hard ones, but only homemade. Don't ruin it with the yucky store-bought ones.

My family loved these tacos. They are amazing. They are so delicious, and yet, easy to prepare. This recipe is now one of my favorites. The fish was tasty and succulent. The salsa was quick and very easy to prepare and loaded with fresh flavor which went so well with the fish and other ingredients. Even though the salsa had the ancho powder, jalapeno and serano, plus the chipotle hot sauce it came out surprizingly mild, and since I like my salsa spicier, I simply chopped up some fresh habeneros as a garnish. But that is me. A little squeeze of lime when building your taco gives a little extra tangy great fresh flavor.

TACOS GOOD, SALSA NOT SO GOOD

The fish tacos are basic, fresh and good, as are the suggested toppings. However, the salsa was very bland (unusual for Bobby!) and really not worth the time and effort. I would make fish tacos again, but either buy or make a different salsa (maybe a different Bobby recipe as he has many good ones).

I wasn't a fan of the canola oil. I thought it made the fish kind of greasy for being grilled. The recipe itself was not too flavorful, so I had to change it up a bit.

Quick marinade, really easy recipe, great pay off! I grilled the fish outside like Bobby did, really makes a difference. Also added lemon balm and mint to the cilantro garnish, which really livened things up. This is a great, easy, tastey recipe!

We have made these several times because this has become a favorite recipe. Super easy and quick for a weeknight dinner. We did substiture talapia for the mahi mahi and it is even better! Don't forget to grill the tortillas...it really adds to the dish.

I was encouraged by all the rave reviews...but these fish tacos were just ok. They take way too much time, and involve way too many steps. The tomoato puree salsa is good, even if you don't puree at the very end (I was just tired of all the steps by then)

A very quick and simple recipe. It had a nice, subtle touch of heat that did not overpower the fish. Unable to grill, I baked the fish at 5oo* for 10 minutes. Came out great.

We used Halibut and these tacos were awesome. The marinade is perfect, and I loved that these fish tacos weren't all fried and greasy. We live in San Diego and have access to lots of good fish tacos but these were way better than most all I have had. Served with all the standard garnish ( cabbage is a MUST) and made a avocado crema as well. Did homemade salsa fresca rather then the salsa in the recipe. Bobby rules.




Not Bad

Quite tasty for such a healthy food. I used low-fat flour tortillas and lite sour cream, and made a salsa verde instead of tomato salsa.

This is a standard for our family and friends through the summer months. I first made this meal about 2-3 years ago, after seeing Bobby make it on Boy Meets Grill. i made it that afternoon for an impromptu party and it was a huge hit. I have to laugh at the woman who said her family didnt like the salsa because they prefer "fresh" salsa. This salsa doesn't get any fresher, so maybe she meant "raw" since it is cooked??




Delicious!

Hands down this is one of the best recipes I've made in a long time! Be forewarned that there is quite a bit of prepping required, so it isn't a quick weeknight meal. But it is worth it and you won't be disappointed. The fish tacos with homemade salsa (a must) are bursting with heat and flavor. Simply delicious.

We have these tacos at least once every two weeks. Bobby got this one right... even my picky kid loves them. They go together in about a half an hour, so they're a really good last minute meal, and I get to grill them outside, so even better!!!
