These delicious grilled fish tacos<\/strong> are packed full of fresh flavor: pico de gallo, guacamole, and flame-grilled cod. They\u2019re perfect for summer and great for sharing as street-style tacos.<\/p>\n

White fish like cod is an incredibly underrated protein for using as a taco filling. It\u2019s fresh and quick to cook, and it\u2019s fantastic at absorbing the flavors from our zesty marinade and homemade crema.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen some recipes that call for breaded fish, but we\u2019re going straight for pure, grilled white fish. It\u2019s healthier and allows us to add better levels of nuanced flavor to the mix. And to top it all off, these grilled cod tacos can be thrown together in just under an hour.<\/p>\n

Grilled Fish Tacos Explained<\/h2>\n

While you could use any type of fish for tacos, most types of white fish have the ideal mildly sweet flavor that can accommodate the fresh toppings used in tacos. Cod perfectly toes the line between allowing the toppings to sing while still holding up to being cooked on the grill, while its firm-but-flaky texture is ideal for chopping into a taco filling (the fact that it\u2019s very<\/em> quick to cook doesn\u2019t hurt either).<\/p>\n

This grilled cod taco recipe is a close cousin to Baja-style<\/em> tacos, albeit a grilled version with some liberties taken with the toppings. Traditionally featuring fried fish, Baja-style tacos originated in Baja California<\/a> in Mexico, and are popular for being as simple as they are delicious. While we have grilled the fish here, a lot of the components here are similar, from the shredded cabbage to homemade crema.<\/p>\n
