Recipe Notes
These tacos are great made with almost any whitefish. The recipe calls for cod, but you can use any quick-cooking whitefish. You could also use shrimp, but they’ll work better in the tacos if you slice them in half lengthwise. The smaller, bite-size shrimp make for a more delicious taco.
The seasoning in this recipe is like many Central or South American recipes – you can choose variations based on your preferences. The recipe is great with a bit of smoked paprika, and if you want to have a bit spicier taco, use a touch of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder. The key is to balance the spices with the great flavor of the fish, sweet mango, and bitter cabbage.
