Poblano Fish Tacos

Tried these tonight. I'm trying all different types of fish to develop a taste for it so we can eat our 1 to 2 fish meals each week.  It's going pretty well so far. Grouper definitely has a fishier taste than tilapia though.  

1 large poblano pepper
1/2 English cucumber, coarsely chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
2 Tbsp. chopped red onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
4 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp mango-lime seafood seasoning (or any citrus seafood seasoning)
1 1/2 lb. grouper or other firm white fish fillets
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
Lime wedges

Preheat grill to 350 to 400 degrees. Grill pepper, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes or until pepper looks blistered, turning once.  Place pepper in a large zip-loc freezer bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skin.  Peel pepper; remove and discard seeds. Coarsely chop.  Meanwhile, combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, 1 tbsp lime juice and 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Add the chopped pepper.  Whisk together seafood seasoning and remaining lime juice and olive oil in a large shallow dish or zip-loc bag; add fish, turning to coat.  Cover or seal, and chill for 5 minutes, turning once.  Remove fish from marinade and toss marinade.  Grill fish, covered with lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until fish begins to flake and is opaque in center.  Cool for 5 minutes.  Flake fish into chunks.  Serve fish and salsa in warm tortillas with lime wedges.

  1. That looks delish Kim! I love me some fish tacos. Tilapia is good for where you are; mild flavor and farm raised. I personally like stronger flavor in fish, but I know thats not for everyone.

    1. I'm getting there. Who knows, one day I may LOVE fish, but for now, it's only being eaten for the health benefits. Why does it have to be so good for you, why can't steak be the healthiest meat?
