Anyway, my parents came for dinner the other night and my dad asked that I make my delicious fish tacos and it blew me away. Really?! Fish tacos? So I upped my game, added a little bolder flavor and flair and whipped up these bad boys and sure enough he loved them! So I had to share them with all of you. I added a cilantro lime slaw and fresh guacamole (something…
