I gave this some thought about a year ago. At the time I opined that I'd use
a "puffy" taco shell and a fairly soft fish (e.g., cod or sea bass) so that
the taco would have a nice textural contrast. I still like that idea, along
with crema and shredded iceberg lettuce instead of cabbage. I also threw out
the idea of using an offbeat sauce like salsa verde with harissa, but I'm
not 100% behind that particular tweak. Maybe just the same squeeze of lime
with cilantro and diced sweet onions that you used would be better.
