Fish Taco Sauce Recipe is quick, easy, and the perfect way to add a little, creamy, tangy kick to fish tacos or sandwiches. It makes a wonderful fry sauce as well.

Have you ever had Mahi Mahi or baja fish tacos?  They are one of my favorite seafood dishes. Quick, simple and fresh. I love the meatiness of the fish, the soft tortillas, the crisp slaw, and best of all the spicy fish taco sauce.

It can be difficult to find the right baja fish taco sauce. However, this taco sauce recipe with mayo adds a tangy kick of lemon to cut through any meaty white fish. We hope you try it the next time your craving a condiment with some zip.

Instructions for making our Fish Taco Sauce Recipe:

  • First, in a large mixing bowl, add the mayo, lemon juice, and all the spices.
  • Next, use a fork or a whisk to whip the ingredients together.

  • Last, serve the easy fish taco sauce immediately on your favorite fish tacos, fish sandwich, crab cakes, crab rolls, or even as a dipping sauce for French fries. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in your fridge.

It only takes about 5-10 minutes to make and you’re done!  It will last about 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Spicy Fish Taco Sauce Tips:

  • As it’s stored in your fridge, the flavors will become more intense.
  • Use this sauce on Fiesta Fridays to create delicious Baja tacos.
  • This fish taco sauce pairs well with this vinegar lime slaw that we like to use as a topping for baja tacos.

    Fish tacos are my #1 craving right now. So light and fresh and great for hot, humid nights. As much as I love tacos, I am ALL about condiments. If there’s not some sort of sauce on my taco it’s disappointing. Can’t wait to try this new sauce on Tuesday!

    Love the spices you used for this sauce! I’m not a big mayo fan so i’ll swap it out for Greek yogurt instead. Can’t wait to try it. Also, Fiesta Friday’s?! I’ve never heard of that but I like it better then taco Tuesday’s!

      Thank you, Jennifer! LOL, it was kind of an “on-the-fly,” label for Fridays. Besides, it seems like Taco Tuesday restricts you to just tacos, why not celebrate all things Tex-Mex? Have a great day 🙂

    I’m so not ready for Cinco de Mayo to be over! I think I’m going to keep the party going this week by making up some tacos that are slathered in this flavorful sauce!

      Hi Joline!

      Thanks so much for giving it a try! Using 1/2 sour cream is a great idea. We’re glad you enjoyed the taco sauce and stopped by to leave feedback. Have a great weekend!
