What fish is best for tacos?

While we love salmon and shrimp in tacos too, white fish is SO delicious in tacos. You can use tilapia, mahi mahi, halibut, cod, or any mild tasting fish for fish tacos.

Is tilapia healthy to eat?

According to WebMD, tilapia is packed with vitamins and minerals like choline, niacin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium, and phosphorus. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that your body needs to function.
