Excellent flavor. I was nervous about making fish tacos at home, but this recipe with the Cabbage and Cilantro sauce was great.

Delicious! I used catfish instead of cod because that's what the local grocery had, and I cooked it on a stovetop grill. I also couldn't find ancho chile powder so I used chili powder. I especially liked the chipotle tartar sauce - start with less chipotles than the recipe calls for as they can be very spicy; you can always add more after tasting it. We served this with guacamole, chips, Mexican rice, and black beans - quite a feast. The kids got quesadillas. I look forward to trying the other three fish taco variations from Sunset.
