Delicious! I made It with the cabbage condiments and added a chunky guacamole and a drizzle of cilantro lime aioli! It was lip smacking good.
Absolutely delicious! Made the exact recipe and it was superb! I will definitely be making this again.Thank you for another great recipe.
Thank you so much keep up the great work
Sooooo jummy Rachel! It was so great to find a fish taco recipe that is deep fried! We also topped ours with some goat cheese, it gave it a lovely tangy bite!
Really yummy! Thanks for making fish tacos easy!
This was delicious! Will definitely make again!
I’m new to cooking and made these last night with the included sauce recipe! Super easy to follow and fed three of us. Better than restaurant fare for sure! I recommend red cabbage for the slaw and putting it through a food processor to shred. I chopped mine by hand and it was just shy of being “slaw-y” enough.
Five star recipe all around!
Best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Make sure to make the sauce included before the recipe! Yuuuumm!
These were very yummy!! Thank you! The recipe was perfect for two. The sauce makes enough for a large group.

Spicy and amazing! I would love a suggestion on what else to use the white sauce with in the next day or two? It’s so good I would hate to let so much go to waste!
