Whenever it's summer time, my husband and I love to make these Grilled Grouper Tacos. Really, anything grilled goes but these are extra summery! Grouper is a white fish that's mild in flavor and chunky when flaked. That texture is what makes this fish perfect for fish tacos! We personally love grouper when we can find it but any white fish will work. We keep this simple by using our favorite rub called Chub Rub Spicy. Use whatever cajun style seasoning you have! Paired with a cilantro lime slaw, homemade pico and spicy Mexican crema, these tacos are fresh, light and bound to hit the spot! Fire up those grills and lets go.
