I love a taco any time of the day, and this ticks all the flavour boxes. You may be used to thinking of a taco as a hard shell filled with your choice of yumminess, but these are soft-shell tacos, which are more traditional when it comes to fish tacos, particularly. Serve all parts separately if desired and allow everyone to go at it. For a real family- style meal, add all sorts of goodness to make it stretch, like smashed avocado, sour cream, more salad, salsa, or whatever your family likes to eat with tacos.
Serving Suggestion: These fish bites pair well with Grilled Pineapple Salsa and tucked inside Spinach or Paprika Chilli Tortillas and drizzled with Chipotle Cream.
