The Alaska Flounder Fish Tacos use wild-caught flounder fillets from Alaska's cold waters, known for their delicate texture. The fish is battered, fried until crispy, and layered with fresh lettuce and pico de gallo. Then, a creamy Fiesta sauce made with sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro is added to the tacos. Each taco is assembled to order and served in a flour tortilla.

Taco John's highlights the tacos' sustainability, noting Alaska's constitutional mandate as it practices responsible fishing that protects habitats and fish populations.
