Woohoo! Fish Tacos! Can you tell I’m excited? 

Are you a fish taco fan? Honestly, the idea of fish tacos used to be weird to me. So weird, in fact, that I would never actually order them off a menu and give them a try. 

Don’t be like me. 

A year ago, I finally got up the nerve to try a Mahi-Mahi fish taco at a restaurant in Annapolis, MD and I suddenly realized that I had been really been missing out.

My favorite fish tacos are usually made up of grilled or pan-seared fish, come served in a lettuce wrap, and have some sort of flavorful fruit salsa. 

Whether you’re a veteran fish taco connoisseur or a slightly more novice fan like myself, these easy chipotle fish tacos with pineapple salsa won’t disappoint. 

These fish tacos couldn’t be more simple. The fish is seasoned with with spices and seasonings you probably already have in your pantry and the pineapple salsa couldn’t be easier to whip up. While the ingredients may be simple, they come together to make a really flavorful dish! Try serving your tacos with rice and beans for a more complete meal!
