Fish tacos are the perfect answer to your craving for tacos when you don’t feel like beef, pork, or chicken. We love to eat fish tacos that are lightly coated and fried, like these are, or just grilled fish!
There are so many delicious options for toppings and seasonings that you could eat them every week with a new variation and not get bored! This recipe has an authentic Mexican flavor while still being gluten-free–so no one has to miss out on this deliciously flavorful dish!

Why You Should Try Fish Tacos:
My number one reason you should try fish tacos is that they are delicious! IMO- of course. However, if you do not like fish then you might want to stick to beef or pork or chicken tacos.
Reason number two you should try these fish tacos is because they are light and flakey from the Mahi Mahi and the fish is mild and allows the flavor from all of the spices to shine.
The third reason you should try them if you have never had a fish taco is because you might like them! We have always had a one-bite rule in our house. One of my friends calls it the no thank-you bite.. but you never know you could want the whole taco…not just one bite!
THE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE GLUTEN FREE FISH TACOS ARE:
Wild-caught Mahi Mahi
Almond flour
Coconut flour
Smoked paprika
Sweet paprika
Chipotle seasoning
Cumin
Salt and pepper.
It would help if you also had a lettuce wrap or corn tortillas to put the fish in. Just make sure your corn tortillas are gluten free
I served ours with a simple topping of shredded cabbage mixed with mayonnaise and chipotle seasoning for a little kick. You can also add guacamole and salsa if you like!

Directions
- Put all the fish-coating ingredients (seasonings and coconut and almond flour) on a plate and mix until blended.
- Make sure your fish is dry and roll it around in the “flour” mixture.
- Heat coconut oil or avocado oil in a pan until hot and fry fish until browned on each side.
- Place cooked fish on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- I used pre-packaged gluten free corn tortillas as our shells. Warm them before filling if desired.
- If you have taco holders, place one tortilla into the holder.
- Put a cooked fish piece into each taco shell and top with your favorite ingredients.
- Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed these gluten free fish tacos! I know our family loves them!
As always,
Best wishes for Gluten Free Dishes!
