Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos Recipe

• 1 lb white fish fillets (like cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• Canola oil for frying

• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Lime wedges for serving
• Hot sauce for serving

1. Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
2. Prepare the fish: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture.
3. Fry the fish: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4. Warm the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the tacos: Place a few slices of avocado on each tortilla. Top with a piece of fried fish, then some of the slaw. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve with hot sauce on the side.
