This might be the perfect summer dish. We've made a
version of these before, but you can't always get fresh halibut from the fish market in Santa Barbara! We used Trader Joe's battered halibut this time, which is really nice and makes the recipe super easy. Last time we garnished our tacos with
pico de gallo, but this time we did a mango salsa. However, we still used
Trader Joe's Cilantro Dressing (which is insanely good) for our fish taco sauce. In my last fish taco post I offered a substitute for the dressing, which I hadn't tried. I recently tried a sauce made with sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime, and salt, which was very good and I think would be a nice substitute if you don't have a TJ's nearby.
