This video shows all the ingredients and steps involved in making fish tacos from scratch at home, starting with breaking down a whole sea bass (lubina). The video shows how to break down the fish into fillets and remove the pin bones and skin, how to make a quick pico de gallo, and how to make a homemade avocado lime aioli: https://youtu.be/ym52CDkbyr4
The fish tacos really came out incredible, and are 100% worth making at home.
