Fish needs more kick, but simple great dinner option.
Will make this again, a kid favorite!
The original recipe is a little bland. I added some black beans and salsa to spice things up. Overall not a bad dish.
The slaw and fish need extra salt, but it was good. Husband and middle child loved it. I really enjoyed it, but it needs some more stronger flavors next time.
A little bland. The picture has jalapenos, which the recipe didn't. Probably would of been better with them.
This is a staple in our home. We have it over and over again and everyone loves it!
