Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

16 ounces catfish fillets
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup creole mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
8 corn tortillas
2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup white cabbage, shredded
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the catfish filets into 1-inch strips on the diagonal.
  • Place fish in a medium mixing bowl with the milk, Creole mustard, hot sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir to thoroughly combine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Make the Chipotle Slaw by combining the chipotle, mayonnaise, honey and lime juice in a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded cabbage, onions, 1/4 tsp salt and thoroughly combine. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the tacos.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet or a deep fryer until a thermometer registers 350 degrees.
  • In a shallow plate, combine the flour, cornmeal and creole seasoning. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour mixture until well coated on all sides.
  • When the oil is hot, gently place the fish in the hot oil and deep fry until the fish is golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fish to a paper-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Using tongs, quickly dip the corn tortillas in the hot oil until they begin to sizzle. Transfer to paper-lined plates to drain briefly, then serve, with the catfish and slaw divided among the hot taco shells.
