- Remove fish from package. Pat with paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Tips
Mix it up! To add more color to your tacos, try serving with fresh avocado, chopped onion, red pepper, shredded carrots, or cilantro! You can also add taco sauce and lime wedges to taste.
Use your preferred taco shell to customize the taco exactly to your tastes. Try a corn shell or a whole wheat tortilla.
Use your favorite white fish, such as tilapia, cod, or white bass!
