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.

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.

How to Make Fish Tacos on Stove Top:

If you do not have a Blackstone Griddle or would prefer to cook indoors, these Fish Tacos will still taste amazing. Stove Top Fish Tacos is an easy recipe.

Cook the fish in a cast iron skillet over medium heat in oil. We recommend the cast iron skillet because of the texture that it gives.
