First try at Mahi Mahi Tacos

Well today we were trying to figure out what to make for lunch, a common problem at our house.  Well while we were at the Egg  dealer picking up my new swing rack, Norah said lets make fish tacos.  she spotted a new rub so I'm guess that's part of what prompted her. The rub was made Suckel Buster and is called Fajita Seasoning ( guess what it made for ) lol.  It's a nice mix of sea salt, black pepper, garlic, chili powder, paprika, sugar, cumin, onion and other spices.  It seemed to have just the right flavor for today's go at tacos.  

Off to Fresh Tyme market to grab some fish, and like all  tightwads I went with what was on sale.  We marinated the fish in a mix of  chilies in adobo, fresh lime, cilantro, a splash of soy, and the fajita mix. The fish was marinated for 30 minutes while the girl came up to temperature.   Once out of the marinade, we hit it with a little more of the  Suckle Busters and tossed it on.  First thing I found is how fast it cooked, fallowed by how good it was. Fish was grilled at 450ish for just a few minutes total.   Below are some photos of the food.  Sides included grilled corn,  cilantro chili lime rice and black bean beans.  Thanks for looking and comments/tips and tricks always appreciated.

Looks good to me, love grilled mahi for tacos.  The only thing I do differently is sometimes cut the fish into taco-sized strips and grill that way, get a little more crust if that's something you like.  I don't do that all of the time though, often just like you did.

@Legume that's a great idea, next time we try fish tacos I'll give it a try

That's got me wanting some fish tacos.

I would eat that eight days a week! (assuming you put some kind of hot sauce on it).  Mahi mahi is my favorite fish and it's such a good fish they named it twice.  Those don't look like store bought fillets.  Where did you get them?

@Hub we have a nice market by us call Fresh Thyme.  They have a good selection of fresh proteins.  https://www.freshthyme.com/

And we did mix mix a little fresh cilantro,  habanero hot sauce and  sour cream together to make a sauce.

Thanks @bgebrent, it was nice to cook something other than briskets and butts.
