Ingredients

1 lb. fresh or frozen catfish fillets

1 lime

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. bottled hot pepper sauce

1/2 a small head cabbage, shredded (about 2-1/2 cups)

1 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning

1 small cluster of dill weed chopped

1/4 cup corn meal

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup vegetable oil (more as needed)

16 8- inch corn tortillas or eight 8-inch flour tortillas

Lime Wedges

Bottled hot pepper sauce

Directions

Thaw fish if frozen; set aside.

For slaw, squeeze about 3 tablespoons juice from lime. In medium bowl combine juice, mayonnaise, and 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce and dill.. Add cabbage; toss to coat. Set aside.

Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish in 1-inch strips. Toss strips with Cajun seasoning. In large bowl combine cornmeal and flour. Add catfish strips. Toss to coat with cornmeal mixture.

In large skillet cook catfish strips, half at a time, in hot oil over medium heat about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and fish flakes when tested with a fork. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels.

Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Heat in microwave oven on 100 per cent power (high) for 1 minute (or toast in a dry skillet). If using corn tortillas, stack two for each taco, or use one flour tortilla for each taco.

Top with 2 or 3 pieces of fish and some of the slaw. Reserve remaining slaw to serve with tacos. Serve with limes, reserved slaw, and additional hot pepper sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 8 tacos.

You can mix some sour cream, orange zest and some of the juice as a extra topping or any sour cream base topping to make your own.
