Place halibut in warm corn tortilla with cabbage, sauce and lime on top. Dig in!

I am originally from Wisconsin and when my family made the move out west to California, fish tacos became a favorite of mine and my families. Although we love the numerous hole in the wall taco finds along the PCH, we knew it was essential to establish a trademark fish taco from our very own kitchen. I have to give my cousin credit for the inspiration in regards to the sauce; it is what makes these fish tacos so unique.
