Let your guests make their own tacos by placing 2 pieces of fish in the center of the tortilla and then topping with the Slaw, green onion, salsa, guacamole, hot sause to taste and then topping with a dollop of Mexican Crema

Either fold in half if its a small tortilla or fold the bottom and roll if its a larger one

We just love the fish tacos on the menu at Cactus Club up here in Vancouver and I finally decided to try making them myself. Searched here and elsewhere on the net and then used them as a guide. First time was a big success and I've tweaked the recipe a bit from there and the concenus here is that everyone likes them better than the original at the Cactus Club.
