Baja Style Seabass Tacos

Fish tacos can come in many varieties, but this Baja Style Seabass taco is a personal favorite! Lightly fried and served with a crisp slaw and spicy Mayo, these are some tacos that are truly hard to beat!

While we highly recommend some form of sea bass for this recipe (White Seabass, Striped Sea Bass, etc), you can also use whatever fish you like or that's in season. Try this with cod, halibut, or even snapper for a really great taco experience!
