5-Star Fish Taco and Sauce Recipes with Top Taco Tips

Marinated tilapia takes no time to grill. These healthy grilled fish tacos are served with a tangy, spicy adobo and lime juice dressing. "Choose toppings to suit your taste," says Mary Dohrmann, "or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro."

"I loved a local chain restaurant's fish tacos so much, that I had to try to duplicate them," says SCAREY76. "They combine flour tortillas filled with breaded, fried tilapia, layered with chipotle mayo, topped with napa cabbage, dressed with honey-cumin sauce, and served with pico de gallo, sour cream, chips and salsa. You'll find them very refreshing and packed full of flavor!"

Yes, shrimp are not fish. But they do make a sensational seafood taco, so shrimp tacos make the list. Crustacoean? "Warm corn tortillas filled with spicy chipotle shrimp and garnished with cilantro, onion, and lime," says rvelasquez.

"I'm from San Diego and these taste just like home," says BREESE823. "We live in the south now, and nobody has heard of these! Serve with homemade pico de gallo, and lime wedges to squeeze on top!"

Flaky blackened salmon is topped with a bright salsa of mangoes, avocado, orange bell peppers and jalapeno peppers. "This is a quick and easy recipe that you are sure to enjoy," says Leah Smart. "Healthy and delish!"

"Spicy grilled fish tacos are cooled down with a fresh crunchy veggie salsa featuring fresh corn," says LouiseCol. "Your guests will swim back for seconds!"

Here's another healthy grilled fish taco recipe with a mango and avocado salsa. This one calls for halibut steaks. "Yummy! I love fish tacos," raves Libbie Remmel. "If I find a cheaper white fish, I will substitute it for the halibut."

"I really like this on grilled or blackened fish tacos," says flachaz.

"I use this sauce for my fish tacos," says kaylee88. "You can make this ahead and keep in the fridge. You can substitute any hot sauce for the sriracha."

Though it's billed here (and is delicious) as a dip, this creamy jalapeno, sour cream, and ranch recipe is similar to the Baja sauce they serve with Chuy's fish tacos in Texas. "I prefer to make it the night before so the flavors really have time to work together," says IdahoJamGirl.
