I have been following this recipe for years! I don’t usually like pico, fish (other than Mahi Mahi, or fish tacos at that but my husband does. And we both LOVE these, and at this point I crave them and suggest this as a dinner option. The Pico, slaw and sauce are actually perfection. All the stars for us both getting (and enjoying) fish tacos!
