Hey everyone! Fall in Texas means the red fish are starting to group and feed voraciously on everything the can find. Easy pickings makes for some filets to bring home, so here is one of my favorite ways to prepare red fish! FISH TACOS with Peach Pico…You can also use any other white fleshed fish (catfish, crappie, walleye) to replace the red fish in this recipe. Here are some recipe instructions to follow along with the video…ENJOY!

Prep the Baja Sauce and Peach Pico ahead of time and chill. Coat Fish with the jerk seasoning and cook over med/high heat in olive oil, Smaller portions will only take about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Warm tortillas and double up to keep your taco from falling apart! Place shredded cabbage down on the tortillas, then the fish! Top fish with Baja Sauce, then with the Peach Pico! and dig in.
