    Mine were made out of flounder, but I felt like catfish would have tasted better. The sauce was on point! With cilantro and extra mango, this was a picture perfect taco.

    I made it. I used cod. I got the burn message! I reread the directions. I did everything right but still the burn. Not sure if the cod would cause that? Anyway, no matter. It was good. I just continued to cook it on saute with no pressure. The taste is wxcellent.

    Wasted a pound of flounder. I would not recommend this. Sauce is overpowering. It was terrible.

    I thought this recipe was wonderful. I would double the slaw next time–I like it loaded with the slaw!
    Ate this with some Mexican street corn and it made a perfect meal.

    Very tasty and flavorful. I used tilapia. If i made again i would cut back on the hot sauce a bit and double or even triple the slaw. Fish was falling apart too much so id try another type or bigger chunks. Family called it fish mash.

    Burn. Too much sugar in the sauce. Concept is great. Salvaged with finishing on stove. Will not do this again
