Instructions

Tips & Variations
- Use mahi-mahi or cod for a firm texture that holds up well on the grill.
- Try adding fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro to the slaw for extra brightness.
- Swap the sauce for salsa verde or guacamole for different flavor profiles.
- For extra heat, sprinkle some sliced jalapeños over the tacos before serving.
Storage
Store any leftover grilled fish and slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the fish gently in a skillet or microwave before assembling fresh tacos. Tortillas are best warmed just before serving for optimal texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use frozen fish for these tacos?
Yes, you can use thawed frozen white fish fillets. Just make sure to dry them well before seasoning and grilling to prevent excess moisture.
What if I don’t have a Blackstone griddle?
You can cook the fish and warm tortillas on any grill, stovetop skillet, or griddle pan. The key is to ensure the cooking surface is hot enough to get a nice sear on the fish.
