These tacos are delish! Instead of cooking the fish myself, I used frozen crunchy cod nuggets and put the 1 T. of taco seasoning into the coleslaw mixture. Left out the cilantro cuz I hate it, and served chopped tomatoes, salsa, and Mexican blend cheese as garnishes. These are terrific with the Best Ever Chicken Fajita Chowder from this website.

Loved this recipe! I did add some southwest seasoning along with the taco seasoning for more flavor and used a non stick pan so cut the butter to 1-2 tablespoons. The slaw was also great with chicken.

<p>I used shrimp instead of the fish and served in flour tortillas, loved it--can't wait to make this again.</p>

This recipe was delicious. It has a very fresh taste. Perfect for the summer. I made some small changes. I used Haddock instead of Sole and I used EVOO instead of butter. I also used a kit for the coleslaw which eliminated the mayo. My husband loved it. I will definitly make it again!

Great! Used tilapia instead of sole b/c that was on sale and turned out good! I might have used more than a tablespoon of taco seasoning...I just sprinkled it on until it was completely covered.

I liked the coleslaw mixture. But, I wasn't to crazy about the fish, it seemed bland. I added salt and more taco seasoning to try and give it more flavor.
