Recipe Variations

  • Fish – This recipe will work great with any type of white fish.  
  • Sauce – We used a creamy sauce over the top of the cooked fish. But you can use any type or none at all.
  • Shredded Cabbage – We love the shredded cabbage mixture to serve over the top of the fish, but you can easily use just shredded lettuce.

Tips for Blackstone Fish Tacos

  • Season Fish – Make sure to oil and seasoning Tilapia before adding to the griddle.
  • Blackstone Griddle – Preheat Blackstone Griddle and oil before adding fish. This helps to prevent the fish from sticking and gives it a crispy texture.
  • Tilapia – You will know when your Tilapia is done with it is browned and flakey.
  • Cook Both Sides – Cook each side of the Tilapia for about 3 minutes. This allows for the tilapia to cook thoroughly.
