Heat the tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to give them a slightly charred touch. They turn warm and pliable but also get a subtle smokiness that complements the fish and fresh toppings. You can also heat the tortillas in the oven, allowing you to warm several tortillas at once. Wrap them in aluminium foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 5–7 minutes.
Choose the right tortilla
Corn tortillas are traditionally favoured for their distinct flavour and sturdy texture. They withstand moisture from fillings like salsa and sauces well. Their robustness ensures that the taco maintains its structure, providing a satisfying crunch that contrasts nicely with the softer fillings. Flour tortillas offer a softer, more flexible option for those who prefer a gentler bite. These tortillas are typically lighter in texture and easier to fold without breaking. The subtle flavour of flour tortillas also allows the filling to stand out without overpowering them.

Try our crispy fish tacos
Taco night just received a seafood twist with our crispy and easy fish tacos. This recipe takes the classic elements, like the warm tortilla and the delicious fillings, and adds tasty fish fingers. Take a bite and enjoy how their crispy exterior makes way for a rich, delicate inside. These tacos ensure you always have a quick dinner option in your back pocket.
With buttery avocado and fresh greens
The fillings make up half the fish taco experience, and buttery avocado is a must. It is an incredibly popular choice in tacos, especially in Mexico and Central America. The creamy and smooth texture of avocado perfectly complements the fish fingers, providing a rich, velvety mouthfeel.
Adding crisp red onion introduces a sharp, pungent bite that contrasts nicely with the mellow avocado. Pair this with a fresh green salad, which adds a light and refreshing element to the taco. The leafy greens add a crisp texture and a slight bitterness that cuts through the richness.
Creamy deliciousness from yoghurt and white cheese with mango and chilli
If you love your fish tacos creamy and flavourful, try adding a spoonful of creamy yoghurt to the filling. Then, mix in some soft white cheese that is blended with bits of mango and a hint of chilli. This combination not only adds a creamy texture but also introduces a tangy and sweet flavour with just the right amount of kick, making each bite irresistibly delicious.
Fresh and spicy with lime, chilli, and coriander
To really hammer home the Mexican flavours, we have included some of the best citrusy, spicy, and aromatic ingredients. Lime and chilli are absolute essentials when it comes to highlighting Central American cuisine. They add a zesty brightness and a little heat that slices through the creamier elements in the tacos. Even the smallest sprinkle of fresh coriander imbues the tacos with a welcome refreshing element.
A quick and easy taco dinner
If you are short on time or feeling hungry, our fish tacos are the perfect solution. You can prepare a family dinner in just a few simple steps – all you need to do is slice and dice some greens and quickly fry the fish in a pan.
While you can use various types of fish for the tacos, we recommend fish fingers for their quick, easy, and delicious preparation. These tacos are not only a guaranteed hit for a flavourful dinner, but they also come together quickly enough for a weekend lunch.
Embrace the Mexican theme with a variety of delicious dishes. Start with a simple black bean salad as a side. Serve crispy chicken tacos next to the seafood-inspired option. Include savoury steak fajitas or chicken fajitas that fit right into the theme, giving you more of the same incredible flavours.
Change up the recipe
You can include or substitute your favourite veggies and fruits. Thinly sliced radishes introduce a satisfying crunch and a peppery bite, while diced tomatoes or cucumbers bring a refreshing juiciness. Diced pineapple has a tropical sweetness that can balance the spicy chilli.
A drizzle of homemade coriander-lime dressing is a wonderful addition if you enjoy bright, herbal notes. For a smoky kick, chipotle mayo provides a deeper, spicier layer that complements the chilli accents in the tacos.
