The name says it all, well almost. Yes it’s quick and easy but its also delicious. With only four main ingredients, this recipe is so simple, anyone can easily create tasty fish tacos within minutes. I live in a suburb 30 miles south of Atlanta but when in town, there’s a place that I love to go to get taco’s that are…well, different. One of my faves is the fish taco. One Saturday as I was deciding what to eat while watching college football, I got the craving for fish tacos. I wasn’t about to drive the 60 mile round trip for a taco fix so I went to the closest store, Publix, and came up with a home run.
