Editors Review
Instead of deep-frying the fish for fish chalupas or tacos, smoke grill the fish. Inspired by the Mexican favorite, these grilled pompano chalupas have wonderful salty smoky flavor spiked with lime juice, and a spicy zesty harbanero pineapple salsa. These are perfect for a summer beach party or a camping trip!Chef
