Blackstone Fish Tacos is one of my all-time favorite taco recipes. We used fresh cobia in this recipe, but any firm whitefish will work. Likewise, if you don’t have a flat top griddle, you can cook these on the stove in a cast-iron pan as well. 

Blackstone Fish Tacos

I want to share this fish taco recipe that’s become one of my favorites. It’s simple, fresh, and so delicious! Fish gets cooked on a flat top (though you can swap in a cast iron pan), then topped with a bright peach salsa. If you love tacos, seafood, or fresh summer flavors, this recipe is for you. It’s fast, colorful, and hits all the right notes.

These tacos use firm white fish, like cobia, cod, or grouper, as all hold up well under heat. The fish is seasoned with simple salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powders. A hit of butter and sugar, combined with orange juice and a splash of liqueur, yields a sauce-like glaze that helps the fish brown without drying out.

Why You’ll Love This Dish

• Vibrant Flavors: Sweet peach salsa and bright citrus glaze balance savory, seasoned fish.
• Quick Prep And Cook Time: About 25 minutes from start to finish with minimal fuss.
• Flexible Ingredients: Swap in any firm white fish, use frozen peaches, or adjust the heat to taste.
• So Much Texture: Flaky fish, crisp cabbage, and juicy salsa give every bite some variety.
• Crowd Pleasing: Great for taco nights, summer dinners, or casual get-togethers.

Blackstone Fish Tacos Shopping List

Wondering if you have to hit the store? Here’s the list of items you’ll need to make this recipe. For specific amounts, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• White Fish – Use a firm, mild fish like cobia, cod, or pollock. These hold together well on a griddle and absorb flavor nicely.
• Butter – Adds richness and helps create that golden crust on the fish.
• Olive Oil – Helps prevent sticking and carries the seasoning evenly across the fish.
• Salt and Pepper – Basic but important for flavor balance and seasoning each layer.
• Garlic Powder and Onion Powder – Brings depth and a savory punch without needing fresh aromatics.
• Sugar – Helps caramelize the glaze and balances the acidity from the orange juice.
• Orange Juice – Brightens the dish with citrus and enhances the glaze. Bottled is fine, fresh is better.
• Orange Liqueur – Adds depth and a hint of bitterness. Cointreau or Triple Sec work well. Skip or replace with more juice if avoiding alcohol.
• Tortillas – Use corn for a traditional touch or flour if you prefer a softer texture. Warm them up before serving.
• Cabbage – Shredded raw cabbage adds crunch and freshness. Green or red both work.
