I have a serious crush on fish tacos. In the summer I make them a lot; primarily because that is when all the amazing produce is in season for the salsa I love to make up to with the tacos. So, I guess you could say that fish tacos are really the perfect vehicle for some amazing salsa. This week just called for some fresh bright food … enter the fish taco.
