Hand food is always great outdoor food and this easy to make Blackened Ling Cod Taco is no exception. Layers of fish and slaw make for the perfect fresh taco.

The fresh lingcod is cooked on the grill, but if you catch something else, it is simple enough to swap for whatever white fish you have. Similarly, if you don’t have a blackening seasoning it can be swapped with a similar fish seasoning. Cooking outdoors is always flexible.

The slaw is a simple yet well-balanced addition to the taco which can be made at home before heading out on the fishing trip. Once all these elements are organized it is just a matter of combining in a tortilla and enjoying.
