The Best Catfish Tacos You'll Ever Eat

This is one of those recipes I just made up one evening.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 8 Tacos

Ingredients

• 1  lb catfish fillet, cut into bite size pieces
• 1⁄2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
•  salt
•  pepper, o taste
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•  peanut oil (for deep frying)
• 8  flour tortillas (6 inch)
• 8  tablespoons  store bought  tartar sauce
• 3  drops Tabasco sauce
• 6  ounces  store bought  Coleslaw

Directions

1. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375°F.
2. Rinse and pat dry catfish pieces and set aside.
3. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
4. Dredge catfish in flour mixture until well coated and fry a few at a time in hot oil until golden and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all have been fried and then refry them for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. This will make them crispier. Drain again.
5. In a cast iron or other heavy skillet, spray with nonstick spray and heat the tortillas on each side. Place in oven to keep warm. Meanwhile, mix the tartar sauce with a few drops of Tobasco.
6. Spread each tortilla with a tablespoons of tartar sauce and some of the coleslaw and finally catfish pieces.
7. Serve with additional tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
