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.

"When it's done properly, taco should be a verb."
