Blackened Swordfish Tacos w/ Mango Avocado Salsa

It has been a rough past few days for me. On Friday I went swimming off one of the piers near Waikiki; while climbing up the rocks to get out, I slipped and stepped on Wana, a Hawaiian sea urchin. Let me tell you, you do NOT want to come in contact with a sea urchin. Ever. I had probably over 40 spines in my big toe and second toe. A nice local man helped me pull a lot of them out, but I still had a dozen or more that had broken off in my toes. After missing two days of work and spending the weekend soaking my foot in vinegar they are still not completely out or healed. Not to mention I also got almost 20 mosquito bites Friday as well…. Even in Hawaii, life is not always perfect.

OK maybe not ever, but these are seriously good. You remember my Secret Recipe Club post for the Mango Avocado Salsa? Well here it is in action. I couldn’t think of a better recipe to use this salsa in. Enjoy the spring weather with these blackened fish tacos and big ol’ margarita; I know I will be.

    The fish tacos with the avocado salsa look refreshing and delicious! Great photos! Sorry to hear about the urchin, those things are nasty, vinegar’s the best remedy. I always try to wear aqua shoes just to be sure.

    Jenny, I liked how you put a positive spin on this post, despite your woes. Your great attitude will help you overcome this latest set-back, and your great Margarita ain’t a bad idea either. 😉 Take care!

    I didn’t make the mango/avocado salsa as I’d already made a mango/papaya salsa before I found this, but yummm the fish is delicious this way. I may have cut it thinner because it took only 2 minutes on one side and 30 seconds on the other to have perfectly cooked fish. Flavor was outstanding, but spicy so a fruit salsa is really a great way to cool it down.
