There are too many great fish taco recipes out there to waste time trying to make this one better. The fish was bland, the dry cabbage an odd and messy topping, and the peach salsa way too strong on cilantro. The salsa itself has some potential, but the rest of it should be scrapped.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos)
