Fish tacos are one of our family’s favorite dinners. Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients, because this recipe is super simple and comes together in just 20 minutes. When purchasing your fish, ask to smell the piece you want to buy. If it smells like the ocean, or fishy, ask for another piece. I prefer to purchase and use my fish within 24 hours. This way you can ensure the most fresh and flavorful meal....

Ta-da! And they are totally delicious!...

Can I use canned corn or frozen corn? You can use canned corn, but then it wouldn’t be fresh corn salad. Canned corn has been cooked and sits in water, so it won’t have the same texture and flavor as fresh corn. Frozen corn is a better option as it was removed from the cob and flash frozen. Be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly of all excess moisture if you choose to go this route....
Beef Options in The Best Beef and Barley Soup: The best meat to use for this soup is stewing meat. Your grocery store should carry it, already cubed up for you.

If you absolutely do not have the time, you can skip it....
