Mahi Mahi Tacos

If you’re trying to incorporate fish into your diet, which you should, this is a great start. Although fish can be expensive, frozen fish is a great alternative when you’re on a budget. When you’re wanting to purchase fish, always make sure they are “wild caught” and not farm raised. Wild caught fish is high in protein and low in fat when compared to farm raised.
