Ingredients
    1 1/2 1 1/2 lbs sea bass or 1 1/2 lbs halibut fillets
    extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
    salt and pepper
    12 6 inch corn tortillas, warmed
    6 lettuce leaves
    Cucumber Salsa
    1 English cucumber, diced
    1/2 small red onion, diced
    1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped (1/3 cup)
    2 small tomatoes, seeded and diced
    3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    2 serrano chilies, stemmed and sliced in thin rounds
    Garnishes
    lime wedge, for squeezing
    radish, in slices
    avocado
Preparation
    Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill.
    Drizzle the fish with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until barely done, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
    Remove the fish from the grill, let cool slightly, and then pull apart into large flakes.
    Place the tortillas on a work surface.
    Line each with a piece of lettuce and top with chunks of fish.
    Top each with a generous spoonful of Cucumber Salsa, a squirt of lime, and a drizzle of olive oil.
    Garnish with avocado and radishes and serve.
    Cucumber salsa:Place all the ingredients in a bowl, combine well and let stand, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
    Will keep 24 hours refrigerated.
    Note: I always use halibut.
    You can cook it any way you choose, but I normally us a very very hot covered grill and do not turn the fish.
