Fish tacos.
Is there anything more delectable and evocative of the Mexican seaside?  Fresh fish broiled with just a hint of cilantro and lime, nestled inside fresh, warm corn tortillas and covered with a spicy cilantro-based salsa verde and a quick, easy radish salad.  They're a favourite at my house and hopefully at yours, too.
