The inspiration
If you've been lucky enough to visit the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean, you'll likely have ordered Fish Tacos. Often found on the menus of the vibrant and friendly beachside shacks alongside fruity, tropical cocktails and other fresh and colourful small plates, this dish is one that'll transport you to those holiday feels in no time.
The fish is normally caught that day from the turquoise blue waters that surround the Caribbean islands, making for the freshest of flavours - especially when paired with the zing of lemon or lime.
Sharing small plates like Fish Tacos as you slowly sip cocktails and share good times with friends is what island time is all about - often referred to as liming, this is all about relaxing, having a good time and taking your time on the good things.
One of the newest additions to our menu, our Fish Tacos are a light and zingy starter - featuring crispy, golden-fried hake fillets served on bara roti (a popular flatbread), topped with a zesty slaw, and a drizzle of tangy pepper salsa.
The Flavours
Our Fish Tacos are crisp and refreshing with a mix of fresh, tangy and mildly spicy flavours.
For these, we use our classic bara roti - which are slightly thicker than tortillas - you might know them from our popular vegan dish, Trini Doubles.
A crunchy, zesty slaw blends with creamy avo for the perfect balance of flavours. The tacos ares topped with hake that is as golden as it is crispy; if you aren't familiar with this fish, it's really meaty but soft and flaky at the same time. The fried fish pairs perfectly with a topping of sweet and tangy pepper salsa that also brings that tropical edge.
A squeeze of lime to taste is the ideal finish!

Be sure to order Fish Tacos if you're looking for something that'll have you feeling like you're sitting next to calm, turquoise waters with nowhere else to be!

For your next dinner, we would defniitely recommend pairing with a classic Reggae Rum Punch or a tropical Koko Kolada, for the true Caribbean beach-side experience!
If you love these you'll love...
If you love our new Fish Tacos, we recommend trying our brand new Trini Cod. Light, flaky cod sits on a bed of creamy mash, all drizzled in a light, buttery and mildly spiced sauce.
If you're a fan of the bara roti, which forms the base of the taco, then you need to give our Trini Doubles a go! Topped with spiced chickpea channa and cucumber chutney, they make a great vegan alternative to the Fish Tacos and are also the perfect snack and sharer.
