May 1st, 2019

Fish Tacos that are as Pretty as They are Sublime

We don't know about you, but we've never met a fish taco we didn't like. That said, we're all for taking our fish taco recipes to the next level with super bold flavors, unexpected textures, vivid colors and a whole lot of heat!

That's why we absolutely LOVE this recipe, courtesy of Alaska-based recipe developer and food blogger Susie Jenkins in collaboration with the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association.
