Ingredients
Fish:
- 8 ounces fish, such as rockfish, salmon or trout (See recipe note “Types of fish”)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil Or use another high-smoke-point oil
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Pinch salt
Lime Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ cup plain yogurt (whole milk preferred)
- 1 lime, juiced + zested
Tacos:
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, diced or sliced
- ¼ cup sauerkraut or finely chopped cabbage
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, sliced (Or use 2 diced green onions)
Extra Toppings (optional):
- 1 lime, quartered
- salsa
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them on the campfire grate to warm up. Once the tortillas are warmed through, remove from the heat and keep them wrapped in foil until you're ready to serve.Mix together the yogurt sauce ingredients and set aside.Meanwhile, place fish on a work surface (such as a cutting board or foil). Drizzle the fish with remaining oil, and then season with salt and Old Bay.
- Place pan on a hot campfire grate over indirect heat. Add the oil.When the oil is hot, add the fish to the pan. (If the fish has skin, add it skin-side down.)
- Cook fish until it’s about halfway cooked. For thin fish, this will be about 3 minutes.For thicker fillets, watch the sides of the fillet as they turn opaque from the bottom up, and flip when the fish is about halfway cooked.Don't touch the fillets until they're ready to flip.Use a thin metal spatula to test the fish. If you can slide the spatula under the fish without the fish sticking to the pan, it's ready to flip. If the fillets won't release, give them another 30 seconds. They'll release when they've finished cooking.(You’ll be flaking the fish apart after cooking, so it’s fine if it falls apart a little while flipping.)
- After flipping, cook the fish about 2 more minutes, and then remove the pan from the heat.Flake the fish apart with a fork.
- Unwrap the tortillas from the foil.To assemble the tacos: divide the fish, avocado, sauerkraut, and tomatoes among the tortillas. Top each taco with a dollop of yogurt sauce and a few green onions. Alternatively, arrange all the ingredients as a taco bar and let everyone build their own tacos.Serve right away while the fish and tortillas are still warm.

Notes
- Types of fish:
- Prepare ahead:
- Slightly firm fish, such as salmon or rockfish, will be easier to cook on the campfire.
- More delicate, flaky fish (like tilapia or grouper) can still work, but could fall apart more easily when flipping.
- The yogurt lime sauce can be mixed together up to a week before serving. Keep it refrigerated or in a cooler until ready to use.
