Blackened Fish Tacos

I love seafood. I try to incorporate it into my meal plan on a weekly basis. Ever since moving to coastal Georgia my love has grown. Whenever we go to the beach, I always get grilled fish tacos. However, my yearning for them lasts throughout the week. So I decided to attempt making my own.
These blackened fish tacos didn’t disappoint. It got the seal of approval from Chris, his mom, and the most discernible palate, Emmie. There was JUST enough kick to them and full of flavor. Chris was disappointed that there were only two for him. Next time I know to make more.

These sound delicious! Fish tacos is one of our favorite things to make at home- we’ve never tried blackened, but I think that’ll have to be next on the list now!
Looks soo good! I try to include fish in my diet at least once a week too and I have a new love for fish tacos so I’ll have to try out the recipe!

I don’t like fish, and I have never seen a fish taco that looks appealing, until now. These look fantastic.

Fish tacos are amazing! I wish I didn’t spend so much of my early life avoiding them because they sounded “gross”. I could eat them everyday now! YUM

I’ve actually never had fish tacos before! I see recipes for them on blogs all the time, but I’ve never made them. I guess maybe I’m not a huge taco person, but maybe one day I’ll try them!
Yum, these look so good! I have some tilapia and tortillas in my freezer, and you bet this is going to be on my plate in the very near future!
