The Best Fish for Fish Tacos | Types of Fish for Making Tacos
If you're thinking of making fish tacos for your next Taco Tuesday then you're in for a treat! Fish tacos are one of the easiest types of tacos to put together: all you need is a nice piece of fish, some tortillas, and your favorite taco toppings. But what is the best type of fish to use for fish tacos? The good news is that you can actually make them with just about any fish you like! So whether you prefer salmon; a white fish like haddock, cod, or grouper; or something more dense like swordfish or sea bass, you can't go wrong.
The easiest way to make fish tacos is to season your favorite fish fillets (like salmon, swordfish, or tilapia) with a little salt and pepper or taco seasoning, then sear or grill the fish to your desired doneness. Fill warmed corn or flour tortillas with the fish and top with your favorite taco toppings. Cilantro, pickled onions, cabbage, and guacamole are great choices!
So, what's the best fish for fish tacos?
If you want to make fried fish tacos then we recommend using a bit of a firmer fish. Try cod, mahi mahi, grouper or sea bass for fish tacos and be sure to season the batter well—that's where most of the flavor will come from. Try your fried fish tacos topped with chipotle mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, or chopped fresh onion and cilantro.
If you're looking for more delicious fish recipes then try some of our favorites here—you could put the fish portion from any of these recipes in a taco, like this easy blackened salmon with edamame, fish and chips salad, or chipotle caesar salad with grilled salmon. Once you have your taco recipe picked out, shake up a spicy jalapeño margarita to go with it and round out your meal with some Mexican street corn, Instant Pot refried beans, and a tres leches cake for dessert. Get ready to have the best Tex-Mex spread ever!

When we opened our doors in 1985 we had one common goal. To Provide a friendly atmosphere for the entire family, while enjoying a reasonably priced meal, and feel as comfortable as you would at home. Till this day we are living up to that creed. Sometimes our staff may seem a bit quirky....(We're all here, 'cause we're not all there)....but don't let that fool you. They dedicate themselves to provide you with the best dining experience on the beach. The longevity of our staff is due to them caring. They care, we care, we are all family. We open our doors and invite you into our family
A Little About Our History...
In July 1985, Ed, Judy, and Pj the parrot founded Pj's Oyster Bar. They hung the first signed dollar bill on the wall and never looked back. 27 years later Bama and Steve Palmer have maintained the organized chaos that makes us Pj's. A lot of our employees have been here almost from day one. They have become family not only amongst themselves, but also with the customers that return year after year. And like the staff, the recipes have changed only slightly over the past years and it's that consistency that leads us to our continued success.
If you are looking for a fun and casual atmosphere, that is family friendly and has some of the best seafood in the bay area, come to PJ's Oyster Bar where the staff is known to have as much flavor as the food. So come on in, sit back and relax. Steve's playlist will always keep the place jammin' and your toes tappin' to every bite of fresh grouper.
History of the Dollar Bills Returning from their plundering escapades, pirates would come to shore to spend all their booty at local taverns on rum, wine, women, alcohol and food. Legend has it, in order for the tavern owners to insure that the tab would be paid, the pirates would mark their money and give it to the barmaids to hang up behind the bar. At the end of the night (sometimes even the weekend) the bartenders would simply take the money off the walls to pay the check.
Here at P.J,'s if your dollars come off the wall, they are donated to All Children's Hospital. Your server wil provide you with a marker and staple gun to be a part of history and leave your mark... Happy Dining.
Along with our award winning menu, we offer a wide selection of domestic and imported beers. If you are interested in having a sweet Pinot Grigio to accompany our popular Chicago Oyster appetizer, or a full bodied Cabernet to enhance your Danish Baby Back Rib dinner, you can find the perfect match from our wine list to complement your meal. Champagne is also available by the glass or bottle.
We also serve with a smile; alcoholic/non-alcoholic frozen drinks , lemonade, coke products, and sweet/unsweet tea (all served in a PJ the parrot take home cup).
When you come in to relax ask your bartender to conjure up the beach famous Rum Punch. A sure crowd pleaser. Whatever your pleasure we are eager for you to stop on in and try us out.
Your dining experience is very important to us. We take pride in our food and look forward to having you and your family come in as guests..... and leave as friends.
