the flavor of the marinade for the fish is the best I have ever for homemade! We enjoy just eating the fish plain or on mexican rice. It s so easy to make!

I only recently started using recipes from Food Network and while some have turned out well..THIS RECIPE was AWESOME!!! My 17 yr old son who doesn't like fish gobbled these down and was disappointed there weren't 3rds! I made the fish and the crema. I was VERY concerned about leaving the buttermilk and cream out for 24 hours, but it turned out DELICIOUS (though I wish it was a little bit thicker. I loved the cabbage and I'm usually not a fan and we used corn tortillas instead of me making them...though my oldest fried them into shells. It is DEFINITELY a keeper, that I'll be putting in the regular rotating menu. Can't wait to share this with friends!

I had never made fish tacos before because I thought they would be boring. After watching Alton make these I knew I had to try them that night. They turned out delicious! I didn't have time to make the crema, so I bought a can of crema in the Mexican food aisle at the grocery store, which worked perfectly. I also added diced avocado with lime juice as a topping, which I think added a lot of flavor. The cabbage adds a nice crunch to the tacos. The only other addition I made was a store bought peach-mango salsa. I will definitely be making these again soon!

I have never made a fish taco before and I love fish. That marinade Alton made was so amazing that it was great right out of the starting gate. My only change was to add an additional clove of garlic.

I didn't make Crema, nor the tortilla nor used the cabbage, however this recipe will be part of my cooking for a long time now.

I have been looking for a healthier alternative to my fried fish tacos and this is it. The marinade is wonderful and easy. I even substituted bottled lime juice for the lime zest b/c I didn't have fresh limes on hand and it worked great. I cooked the fish as Alton suggested however mine was done sooner. I also made the flour tortillas and used organic shortening in place of lard. They only took 1-2 minutes per side not 4 per side as the recipe says and they turned out great. The flavor would probably be better if I used lard and I may try that in the future. I decided to skip the crema and cabbage and used the mango salsa recipe I have been using on my fried fish tacos. It was awesome with the fish. It added a lot of flavor. I got my mango salsa recipe from Emeril's Crispy Louisiana Crab Cakes recipe on FN. I highly recommend trying it.

My husband and I had no problem eating the entire batch ourselves. Good thing I bought the 2-lb bag of frozen tilapia filets--we're having this again next week!

Tried AB's marinade for the tilapia tonight. It worked perfectly! We also did corn tortillas & shredded cabbage. Outstanding.

This is an excellent marinade. I had planned on making these with corn tortillas, and due to a masa harina snafu, ended up making them with no tortillas. I also couldn't possibly wait two days for crema, so I just used plain yogurt with the chipotles in adobo, served with a topping of red cabbage, radish, and lime. Yum. Fantastic. The fish (I used tilapia was better than I imagined it would be with such a simple marinade. I think the cumin was key.

The tilapia marinade is awesome, but anything with cilantro is a home run in this family. We had to jazz up the taste of the tacos with sour cream & guacamole, as the crema was virtually tasteless. The red cabbage creates great texture and I love AB but this was not an overall winner for us.

I saw the episode Thursday and had to make them today. The tortillas are easy and taste great. Watch them carefully. They can go to underdone to burnt quickly.

I didnt have the prerequisite days for the crema. Therefore, I used sour cream with a couple of chipotle peppers and thinned it out with butter milk.

The fish is easy and tastes wonderful.

This dish will go in our binder of family recipes that we use regularly.

Thank you AB.
