This is one of my favorite dinners I make! It takes a lot of prep and time in the kitchen, but it's worth it! Bobby is a pro when it comes to grilling fish and adding a combination of salsas, slaws, and sauces. I make a little different variation of the slaw, with green and red cabbage and carrots. I make a little extra citrus vinaigrette and put that in the slaw. I make the tomato and avocado salsa, but add tomatillos. the Pineapple Hot Sauce is the best. It comes out sweet and spicy. I always have so much extra, so I've canned it and use it on other items all the time. I also make the slaw and eat it by itself too. It's such a good alternative to mayonnaise-based slaws.

OH MY!!!! This is incredibly yummy and so worth the effort. I thought I should add a bit more. The Avocado-Tomato and the Pineapple hot sauce do make a lot more than can be used with the fish part - unless you like to gob it on (which I do. Also, we used regular taco shells to assemble the tacos.
I couldn't find the pineapple puree so I just left it out. Also, I didn't have the patience to strain the hot sauce the first time I made it. I used it just as it was - delicious!! The only other thing I would say is you'll certainly eat up any left-over Avocado-Tomato Salsa with corn chips.
Did I say this was AWESOME?!!
