28 Fish Taco Recipes To Add To Your Rotation

Fish tacos may evoke memories of beaches and margaritas, but this dish comes in clutch all year long, whether you want a fun way to add more seafood into your diet or need a fast, family-friendly dinner. What is the best fish to use for fish tacos? That is up to you! Baja-style tacos, like these, usually feature white fish fillets, such as halibut or cod — but tortillas can really be a blank canvas for so many combinations of toppings, seasonings and types of fish (think: shrimp, salmon, tuna and more).

Salmon is a terrific option for tacos: It’s meaty, takes on a marinade very well and cooks quickly on the grill. Here a large salmon fillet is given a quick soak in a sweet-and-spicy chili-lime marinade, then grilled until just until cooked through and charred in spots. Grilled peppers and onions add a delicious veggie factor, and the assembled tacos are topped with Cotija and drizzled with a homemade avocado crema for creamy tang. It’s a summery taco with year-round appeal.

Ree's fish tacos are ready in just about 15 minutes, thanks to a few store-bought shortcuts including a can of Mexican tomato sauce (or enchilada sauce works, as well!).

Bobby skips the deep frying and grills the fish fillets instead before serving in warmed flour tortillas. Spice it up as much as you like with his homemade habanero salsa.
