I love fish taco's but I've gotten really sick twice, once in mexico & once in costa rica. Is there a way to avoid this? perhaps theres a certain fish that I can avoid?
 
It goes all along with the expression of "Don't drink the water!"

The fish swim in the sometimes less pure waters than in your home country, and you are not used to what is in the fish. There are still pollutants in the fish that can not be cooked out.

The best way to go about this is to know the source of your fish. If it came from a clean, tourist populated resort island (eg: Cancun) you're probably good. If it came from the local palenque, i'd be a little more apprehensive.
