It’s taco time! These striped bass fish tacos with bell pepper citrus slaw and grape tomato pico de gallo are delicious. We love fish tacos. Preferably, grilled instead of fried. You want the fish to be the star of your dish. A great fish taco should have layers of different textures that are bright, fresh, spicy, and crunchy and these tacos have it all.

If you are unable to get striped bass, then buy fish fillets that are firm and meaty such as; mahi-mahi, halibut, or cod. Don’t skip on the citrus slaw, and grape tomato pico de gallo or your taco will be boring. We topped each taco with avocado slices and micro cilantro. You will see microgreens in many of our recipes because we recently started growing our microgreens at home from seed quilts we got from Hamana. They do not sponsor us, we just want to share this product because we are really happy with it. Also, we like to use grain-free tortillas and the best brand we have found is Siete tortillas, but regular tortillas will do just fine. Now it’s time to cook.
