What’s the Best Fish for Fish Tacos?

For these Fish Tacos, I’m using tilapia. Tilapia is a very mild-tasting fish with a subtle sweetness. It pairs perfectly with many different flavors. I’ve been trying to incorporate more and more fish-based dishes into my meals because of their health benefits.

Fish tacos are one of my favorite ways to do that. I love the combination of flavors and how you can incorporate whatever toppings you like best. The Garlic & Herb Tilapia we are using for this recipe has 21g of protein per serving, no artificial flavors, and is responsibly sourced.

I’m happy to report that these tacos were absolutely scrumptious and so simple to prepare that I will be making them again and again. By changing up the toppings there is an endless combination of deliciousness.

Speaking of toppings, you might be wondering what else you will need for this recipe? Most of the other items are pantry/refrigerator staples, but let me walk you through the list.
