I've never made fish tacos before, so this was a nice change and a different way to get more fish in my diet. I did find the fish had a fairly 'fishy' flavor, but that was probably due to the frozen tilapia that I used rather than the recipe. I fried the fish in a frying pan with some olive oil spray since it isn't grilling weather. I also left out salsa and added tomatoes. Easy quick dinner. Made for My 3 Chefs.
