Crispy FISH TACOS
“My close friends know that I have an obsession with Mexican and Tex-Mex food. It all came about on a trip to Los Cabos, Mexico, in 2015. The way the Mexican flavours are pounded into every dish, with high levels of acidity and different textures? Delicious! Everyone should have a taco recipe up their sleeve.”
