It’s Taco Tuesday, so you know what that means…we’re posting another taco recipe!! And not just any taco recipe, a vegan ‘fish’ taco recipe! All my fellow seafood lovers rejoice!

Before going vegan, fish tacos used to be one of my favorite dishes so I knew I had to veganize them!!!

Grab a beer and let’s get to cookin’ some amazing vegan fish tacos!!!

The other day, I came across Hot for Food’s blog post on vegan crabcakes and immediately, I was inspired. I used to love fried fish tacos before going vegan, so I decided to make vegan ‘fish’ tacos! BRILLIANT! Instead of using artichoke hearts like Hot for Food did, I used hearts of palm for the meaty-fishy base of the tacos.

I had Ashlee make a batch of some avocado slaw to go on top of the vegan fish tacos and it was the perfect addition. I also had some vegan sour cream that needed to be used up, so I made a chipotle crema to drizzle on top.

I can honestly say that these vegan ‘fish’ tacos undoubtedly resemble real seafood tacos. They’re crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The best part is, they’re not overly fishy. You can add as much or as little seasoning as your heart desires. We hope you like our vegan fish tacos as much as we do!
