We have been making grilled fish tacos over here for YEARS. It’s a staple summer recipe at our house…but now that we’re living on an island, we’re having it even more.
One of our favorite things to do is go to a fish market and buy fresh fish for that day’s dinner. On this day, we visited Glidden’s on Nantucket, but there are so many similar markets here to try.
This really isn’t a recipe…it’s assembling.
Grab your tortillas (corn for us to keep things gluten-free), add some canned vegetarian refried beans (I prefer the vegetarian ones in the can), pile on your fresh fish and toppings and you have yourself the easiest summer supper.
Enjoy! xx

Description
This really isn’t a recipe…it’s assembling. Grab your tortillas (corn for us to keep things gluten-free), add some canned vegetarian refried beans (I prefer the vegetarian ones in the can), pile on your fresh fish and toppings and you have yourself the easiest summer supper.
Ingredients
- your favorite fresh fish (we used halibut on this night)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- Old Bay seasoning
- tortillas (we use corn)
- refried beans
- fresh pico (we always find it in our grocery store by the salads)
- homemade guacamole
- a squeeze of fresh lime juice
- chopped cilantro to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high.
- Take each fish filet and add a little drizzle of EVOO. After that, sprinkle on some salt and pepper and a bit of Old Bay Seasoning. We like to grill our fish in a fish basket so that the fish doesn’t fall between the grates of our grill while we are grilling it. Lightly spray the fish basket with Pam to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Pop your fish on the grill for only about 3 or 4 minutes each side.
- When your fish is done, build your tacos: tortilla, a little beans, grilled fish, fresh pico, guacamole, a bit of cilantro and then a squeeze of fresh lime on top. Serve and enjoy.

Thank you!!

Since you already have the grill on, throw the corn tortillas on there for a little char and a lot of flavor!!

I want to try this- never have done fish and I’m ready for the change. Do you hear the corn tortillas ? We are g free, too, and I have been experimenting with best ways to use them for tacos so they aren’t so chewy.
Mix and Match Mama says
We like to microwave them between two damp paper towels for about 30 seconds. Try that!

Seafood tacos are superb!
A great tasting tortilla to try is the Siete Almond Flour Tortillas, they also have Cassava Flour and Chickpea flour ones, but the almond is the best tasting (in my opinion). I keep them frozen so they last longer and warm them in a skillet for a few minutes. They are the best gluten free option we have tried and have a nice texture, not chewy at all.
