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?!!

These are the best fish tacos ever! We made them last summer and I had to find the recipe so we could make them again tonight! We just used some peach salsa to speed it up a little bit, and we skipped the pinapple hot sauce, but otherwise the recipe is perfect : The cabbage slaw makes it unique and extra delicious! Oh also we didn't deep fry anything. We ate them like regular tacos.

I only used the citrus vinaigrette from this recipe for some fish tacos i bbqed. Good stuff. I made my own avocado salsa for the topping. Worked out great.

The recipe was very tasty. However, it does take a bit of time to prepare all the sauces, so I recommend doing all of that in advance and then cooking the fish when your guests arrive. Since I didn't have the pineapple recipe and everyone was starved, I improvised the Habanero sauce as follows (it was still a big hit: About a cup of fresh salsa (I use Trader Joe's mild, two or three teaspoons of Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce, and a half cup of pineapple chopped into small chunks. I also agree with the other reviewer- you need to double the amount of fish you use in order to feed four people and even out with the amount of saucesand salsas. Overall, prep time is a little long (and prepare to have a LOT of cilantro on hand, but this dish is delish!

i found the directions on how to make the hot sauce here they are

Heat a grill to high or preheat the broiler. Place the whole pineapple (do not peel it on the grill and grill until the entire surface is completely black and charred. Remove from grill and let cool slightly. Peel the pineapple, remove the core and coarsely chop the flesh.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the onion and cook until soft. Add the pineapple, pineapple puree, habanero and vinegar and cook until the mixture is completely soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and honey, to taste. Strain the mixture into a bowl.

I made this for a birthday party and it was a big hit. I am withholding the fifth star for two reasons. First, the amount of avocado salsa and habanero hot sauce is way too big compared to the amount of tacos this recipe produces. Prepare to have lots of salsas on hand after making this recipe. The other thing this recipe is lacking is directions for the pineapple habanero sauce. I used the keyword "charred" to help guide me and it turned out great - directions would still be nice though.
