SERVES: 2
PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COURSE: Entrée
"Mediterranean Branzino tacos are a warm-weather staple — every bite is tender and juicy under the delicate, pan-fried coating and the fish’s mildly sweet flavor is an excellent counterpoint to fresh avocado and bright pico de gallo."
—Joe Gurrera
Citarella's Owner & Original Fishmonger, author of JOE KNOWS FISH
