Zesty Halibut Tacos
Our Zesty Halibut Tacos boasts a medley of flavors. The seasoned halibut offers a mildly spicy, citrusy profile with smoky undertones. The cabbage slaw, featuring cilantro, lime, and jalapeño, adds crunch and freshness, while the chipotle lime crema brings a creamy, tangy, and subtly smoky element. The combination is a vibrant, well-balanced fusion of zesty, spicy, and savory notes.
