My husband and I love to grill. We must grill at least 4-5 times a week, all year round. When you live in a Mediterranean climate like ours here in Orange County, your oven is rarely used and your grill is always hot and ready to go! Tonite is Taco Nite, Baja Light Fish Tacos. They are so yummy I have the recipe below. One of my favorite magazines (I subscribe to) is SUNSET. I got this recipe from the September 2010 issue. Now go fire up the grill!
