Notes

Anyone who has ever eaten tacos probably knows that everyone makes their taco a little different.
For that reason, we only included nutritional information for the fish and counted one serving as 5 ounces. Those facts will vary depending on how many tortillas you eat, how much avocado you add, how much salsa, etc.
