Preheat the electric grill to 400°F.
In a wide shallow bowl, whisk oil, chopped cilantro, and garlic to blend. Lightly coat fish with oil mixture and season
with salt and pepper. Brush grill lightly with oil. Add fish and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until barely opaque
when flaked in thickest part with tip of a small knife. Using a spatula, transfer fish to a cutting board and let stand for 2
minutes.
Meanwhile, grill limes cut side down for about 2 minutes, or until beginning to char on bottom. Remove from grill. Add
tortillas to grill and cook, turning halfway through, for about 1 minute, until warmed.
Coarsely break or cut fish into large flaky chunks and divide it among tortillas. Top with cabbage, crema, cilantro leaves,
and pico de gallo. Serve hot with grilled limes.
