Fresh, Easy, Homemade Crispy Fish Tacos!

Flaky halibut fried to golden perfection, with creamy avocado and and zesty cilantro lime slaw, this Crispy Fish Tacos are a total catch. Serve with corn tortillas for style points.
These crispy tacos have a zesty, crunchy cilantro lime slaw with both red and green cabbage that’s sure to excite all your senses. To achieve that desired creaminess, I love using avocado slices, more fresh cilantro, and a little (or a lot) of rich Mexican crema. All this goodness on a perfectly fried fillet bringing out just the tiniest hint of sweet from the corn in the tortilla is… chef’s kiss. Let’s make some tacos.
