"Sweet fresh strawberries and lucscious avocado provide a nice balance to tange jalapeno pepper, red onion, cilantro and lime. We love red snapper, but salmon, swordfish, or tuna filets works equally well here. Scoop up any extra salsa with tortilla chips. (Taken from www.wholefoodsmarkets.com)"

Delicious salsa! Red snapper wasn't available, so I used wild rock cod%u2014I was told that it is the West Coast version of red snapper. The fish was skinned and it turned out fine. I will definitely make this again, perhaps with the other fish suggested.
