The only thing that rivals my family’s love of tacos is their love of fish of any kind. So I decided to make some Blackened Fish Tacos and some fun toppings like broccoli slaw for crunch and of course you have to have some pico de gallo! The fish was so flavorful and spicy, but the heat was mellowed out by the Crema and Avocados. Hope you’ll give this a try
