Fish Tacos

These Baja style tacos are perfect for a hot day!  Start with the fish and add whatever condiments you each prefer. Begin the Pickled Red Onions at the very least, the day before serving and preferably 2 - 3 days prior.

The Baja Sauce can be started an hour or two before serving. Another great sauce is our Cool Green Dip.  The fish is really quick and the last to be prepped.
