To each taco add a handful of shredded lettuce and red cabbage and a few slices of avocado. Top with a spoonful each of the pilchard mixture
  6. Salsa:
  7. Drain and rinse the corn. Mix together the spring onions, corn, tomatoes, coriander, chilli, remaining lemon juice and zest. Stir in the olive oil and serve with the fish tacos.
