<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to tacos, there are a lot of different options for fillings. If you’re looking for a nutritious option that’s packed with protein, grilled fish is a great choice. Here are a few tips for choosing the right fish for your tacos:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can, buy a fish from a local market that sells fresh seafood. It should smell slightly salty and have a firm texture. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has a mushy texture. Also, make sure to ask the fishmonger what’s fresh and in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For tacos, choose a fish that has a mild flavor. That way, the other ingredients in your taco will be able to shine through. Good choices include cod, tilapia, and salmon. Some people also like to use mahi-mahi or swordfish. The key is to choose a fish that you know you’ll enjoy eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If possible, try to avoid buying frozen fish. Frozen fish can often be watery and have fewer flavors than fresh fish. On the other hand, if you can’t find fresh fish or you’re on a budget, frozen fish is still better than no fish at all! The key is to thaw the fish properly before cooking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When buying fish, look for options that are sustainably caught. This ensures that the population of the chosen fish species is not adversely affected by fishing practices. In general, wild-caught fish are more sustainable than farmed fish. And small fish are usually more sustainable than large fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fish can be expensive, so be sure to consider your budget when making your purchase. Cheaper options like tilapia or cod. If you’re eager to spend a bit more, salmon or mahi-mahi is also good choices. No matter what you choose, be sure to look for the freshest fish possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will you be grilling, baking, or frying your fish tacos? Depending on your cooking method, some fish may work better than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, grilled fish tacos are best made with firm fish like salmon or swordfish. With that said, any type of fish can technically be used for tacos. It all comes down to personal preference. Also, here’s the ultimate guide to grilling fish and seafood!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For tacos, choose smaller fillets so that they fit nicely into a soft tortilla shell. Avoid larger fillets that may fall apart when cooked. While you’re at it, be sure to remove any bones from the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asking your local fishmonger for advice is a great way to ensure that you’re buying the best fish for your tacos. They can tell you what’s fresh, what’s in season, and that’s a good value. Even more peace of mind, you will also ask them to clean and fillet the fish for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When in doubt, it’s always better to buy extra fish than not enough. That way, you can always have tacos on hand! For a small family, 1-2 pounds of fish should be plenty. But, if you’re feeding a crowd, you may want to buy 3-4 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tacos are best when made with fresh fish, so try to plan ahead and buy your fish the day of you want to make tacos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will ensure that your tacos are as delicious as possible. On the other hand, if you are in a pinch, frozen fish will also work. Just be sure to thaw it properly before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparing and grilling the fish<\/a> will be the next steps after you have selected and purchased your fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Listed Below Are Some Different Methods For Preparing And Grilling Your Fish:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This will remove any debris or blood that may be on the surface of the fish. Also, you can use a mild soap if desired. Just be sure to rinse the fish well so that there is no soap residue left behind. In general, use one fillet per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not want there to be extra moisture on the fish before cooking, this can cause it to stick to the grill. As you pat the fish dry, be sure to check for any bones that may have been missed. Remove any bones that you find. It is also a good idea to season the fish at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will flavor the fish and also keep it moist while cooking. On the other hand, if you are watching your sodium intake, you can skip this step. And, if you’re using a marinade, you may want to hold off on adding salt until the fish has had a chance to soak in the marinade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This step is optional; it helps to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill. You can utilize any type of oil, but olive oil or vegetable oil work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just make not to use too much, as this can cause the fish to become greasy. You can use a cooking spray if desired. It’s best to apply the oil to both sides of the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to preheat your grill before adding the fish. You will know its ready when you can hold your hand about an inch above the grates and feel the heat radiating off of them. When grilling fish, it’s best to cook it on medium-high heat so that it doesn’t stick or burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll know the fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is no longer translucent in the center. For thicker fillets, you may also need to cook them for 3-4 minutes per side. Making sure not to overcook the fish is key, as it can become dry and rubbery if cooked for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your fish is cooked through, remove it from the grill and enjoy immediately. Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy! No matter how you select to enjoy your tacos, they’re sure to be delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are various ways that you can enjoy your tacos. I like to keep things simple by just topping mine with salsa, sour cream, and cheese. Below are some other ideas for toppings and sides that you may want to try:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The options for salsa are endless. You can use a store-bought salsa. I like to use a fresh salsa made with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. But, you can use any type of salsa that you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sour cream helps to balance out the flavors of the taco and also adds a bit of creaminess. So, you are watching your fat intake, and you can use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Look For Fresh Fish.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
