I use a Tilapia fillet seasoned with taco seasoning instead of a battered fillet but the slaw is what makes the taco so good! It is perfect with fish. I've used this many times and love it every time. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were so easy and really really good! I might add more jalepeno next time, but the slaw was so good I could have eaten it by itself!

This was an excellent, quick after work meal. I used VanDeKamps extra crunchy fish sticks and angel hair slaw from a bag and followed the recipe exactly except I chopped onions, extra cilantro and jalapenos for garnish. I kept tasting the slaw outside of the tacos and wasn't sure we'd like it, but the crunch from the fish and the slaw along with the slight heat from the jalapenos was just the right combination for the adults in my family. We WILL have this again and again.
