Summer is here and it’s a time for bright, fresh flavours eaten out on the patio, handheld food good for socialising with a beer in the other hand. These fish tacos have a gorgeous shine to them that could only be more summery if they were served by a dolphin wearing a floral garland. The citrusy notes of the mayo and coleslaw perfectly balance the flaky, delicate fish.
