Drink recommendation: Landshark Lager, hands down
Note: If it’s available, top these tacos with prepared broccoli slaw instead of cabbage. Also, you may use any fresh white fish that’s available, but get out there and catch it yourself! Theres a definate flavor and quality difference between store-bought and fresh fish. Afraid of fishing? Keep this in mind – Tina is as girly as they come, and she still loves fishing. If she can do it and enjoy it, you can too – so get out there!
