"WOW! Do we love these fish tacos, and there are so many variations. This is one of my favorites and most authentic. Or, Think fresh grilled mahi-mahi slipped inside a thick warm corn tortilla and topped with thinly sliced cabbage, drizzled with lime juice and a splash of creme fresh. YUMMY!"

Very good! I'm not handy with anything fried, but these came out rather well! I substituted sour cream in place of the mayo, and added a chopped up chipotle in adobo for added heat and some lime juice as well for a citrus tang. The whole family enjoyed! Thanks :)

Super easy and excellent!! We only made the fish part of this recipe and served it with Missy Wrights Cabbage Salsa Recipe #37237 , sour cream and flour tortillas. I think this recipe would work well for fish and chips as well. Thank you for sharing this keeper!!!!!

Very good... I just started to teach my self how to cook, and this happened to be my 3rd recipe i tried. I messed some of it up, but it still came out pretty tasty.

This was great! I followed the recommendation of one of the previous reviewers and used lime juice to thin the mayo. Additionally, I added a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and blended it smooth. It was spicy and very tasty! I had left overs and wrapped it all up in a flour tortilla and sent it to work with my VSO.

Yum! Very good; I made a few adjustments because-let's be honest-that's how we all cook. I used about 2 tablespoons of mayo for the dressing, and instead of using water I used lime juice...and four garlic cloves. So, although nothing like the original, I loved it--ate the cabbage salad by itself the next day for lunch! Good recipe to be sure.
