Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise 

“This is by far the best recipe for fish tacos that I have found online!” according to one Allrecipes community member. “I use a coleslaw package mix and would highly recommend doubling the white sauce because it is that good! Cannot gush over this recipe enough.”

“Perfect tacos,” raves Kristen Andry. “We doubled up the tortillas after warming them one at a time on a cast iron skillet and putting them in the oven to keep warm. Doubling them helps keep everything from falling apart.”

“This is my go-to fish taco recipe,” says another community member. “I have made it for years and it is one of my husband’s favorites. I use cod. The beer batter is perfect in my opinion and I absolutely love the sauce. I use whatever beer I have on hand and have never had an issue.”
