25 Reviews of Light and Yummy Fish Tacos

by Dawnab

Delicious. Halibut is one of my faves anyway but when it marinates in the mustardy Mariel's Amazing Salad Dressing it gets even better. I thought the cabbage slaw might be kind of weird at first but it works perfectly in these fish tacos — it gives a refreshing crunch to them. Great just like that but you add salsa and guacamole and you really got something. A much lighter and healthier alternative to traditional crispy tacos filled with beef. No guilt with these — unless you put as much guacamole on them as I do.

    I loved these. However, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of flavor. I made the Chunky Guacamole recommended and it was great. I loved the slaw for the tacos too! I think it was the fish...maybe I will season it up when I cook it next time. But this is certainly a great recipe, and I will surely be making it again!

    This was really delicious! We used some Cilantro Salad Dressing from Trader Joe's to put on the halibut. Awesomely easy and really flavorful.

    I made these, along with Mean's corn tortillas & Salsa Fresca--it made a great meal that was well-received. I realized a little late that I didn't have enough halibut on hand, so I substituted a pound of tilapia. This oft-maligned farm-raised fish was fantastically tasty when marinated in Mariel's Amazing Salad Dressing (#106449); this otherwise bland fish came alive with this marinade. Definitely a recipe to repeat.

    Excellent! Easy! This one is going into the keepers' file. Use the marinade Mean recommends, it is so green, that you might be afraid, but believe me, it turns out so yummy. I used halibut with this one and can't wait to make it again.

    This was a great meal, especially when my significant other (whome doesn't like fish) couldn't get enough. The fish definitely needs some seasoning. I followed the slaw recipe and it was a hit! (significant other doesn't like cabbage, but loved it in this receipe!) I made my own salsa and used Guacamole from Trader Joes. It was the bomb! I will make it again.

    wonderful recipe! made it almost exactly as written, only squeezed lime over the fish when it was cooking rather than marinating it in the dressing. I also added a pinch of garlic to the slaw. i made my own guacamole and my DH and I devoured these for dinner last night. the leftover cabbage went into wraps this afternoon with some chicken and feta cheese. beautiful, i will definitely make again!

    I made this with prebreaded haddock fillets on corn tortillas and it was excellent. The slaw compliments the fish perfectly and I wouldn't change a thing. Served with salsa fresca, guac, and slaw.
