A very versatile dish, tacos are a fan favorite. Tuesdays are even named after them! With a crunchy hard shell or a warm, soft tortilla, many taco components stay consistent, but one big difference is the choice of protein. You’ve got plant-based alternatives, and of course, beef, chicken, and fish, to name a few. That last choice – fish – can really bring a unique taste to the classic meal and many Metro Detroit restaurants offer tasty takes on fish tacos. Are you ready for a seafood spin for your next Taco Tuesday?
