Canned Fish Is The Key To Upgrading Your Taco Nights

For a convenient and surprisingly satisfying alternative to fresh fish tacos, turn to the canned fish in your pantry, a versatile ingredient that comes precooked.

This makes preparation a breeze since there's no worrying about over- or undercooking or your fish sticking to the grill. You can warm it up if you'd like, but there's no need.

The most popular versions of fish tacos typically feature lean and mild white fish. Cod in particular takes well to canning and works great due to its sweet flavor and flakiness.

Feel free to stray from tradition and use bluer or redder fish such as canned sardines, which have a briny and salty taste, or canned salmon, which can add a buttery quality.

Since the flavors your seafood is canned with will end up in the background of your tacos, you can adjust your garnishes and condiments accordingly.
