Fish tacos are a tasty treat, easy to make and adaptable to a wide variety of personal preferences. This recipe takes a healthy slant using an exciting new Moroccan super spice called cHarissa™. Organic and sugar-free, cHarissa™ has a terrific flavor that melds with fish, venison and other game without overpowering the true taste of your catch. Available in hot or mild, you can purchase both the dry rub and condiment versions at the outdoortom.com store.
