Craving a fresh and exciting twist on taco night? Look no further than these Shawarma Fish Tacos! Forget the usual ground beef – this recipe features succulent sea bass, cod, or halibut marinated in a vibrant shawarma spice blend, the favorite seasoning for what is usually turkey or lamb stacked on spit.

The fish is seared to crispy perfection, delivering a burst of savory flavor with each bite. Fresh and crunchy toppings like cucumber, radish, and cilantro cut through the richness of the fish, while a dollop of tangy tahini sauce adds a touch of creaminess.

Wrapped in warm tortillas and overflowing with these vibrant ingredients, these Shawarma Fish Tacos are a unique and delicious adventure for your taste buds. Get ready to experience the unexpected and redefine taco night!
