This recipe was delicious. And, I don't know what ASIMPSON7 is talking about in their review. Why is it hard to understand where the calories come from? There's oil, there's salad dressing, there's cheese, plus the fish and tortillas. You learn something new every day, I suppose. Yes, that pizza you've been enjoying all of these years, it HAS calories! - 16 Jun 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Even my wife, who pnly likes reef fish, loved this recipe. It helps to temper the strong taste if when you cube the fish you cut out the dark meat right around the backbone area - 11 Aug 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Delicious recipe! Great change of pace for fish. And it's easy to cube the fish if you use kitchen shears. - 25 Oct 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
