RECIPE: Fish Tacos

While not everyday can be Taco Tuesday (which is a bummer,) I just love eating a nicely constructed taco. Steak and chicken are my go-tos, but I decided to try making a fried fish version, and they were absolutely divine. Not the healthiest of options, but a darn delectable one, that's for sure.
