Editors Review

These are not regular Fish Tacos! These are fish tacos with a twist. Batter fried fresh whiting fillets are encased in soft tortillas and topped with a spicy, tangy sour cream sauce, a combination that will give these tacos five star rating in your household. Like most tacos they are pretty fuss free & easy to prepare. They make a perfect dinner for busy night or a beach picnic.
