Notes

Estimated at 8 servings of 2 tacos per person.
Most store bought halibut will come with no skin.  If there is skin (like ours) try leaving it on as it only positively impacts the final product (our opinion).
Optional: If desired, can quick fry street taco tortillas in oil or wrap in wet paper towels and quick steam in the microwave.  For this application we did not and therefore did not write that into the recipe.
