Method

1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut into pieces sized for 2 tacos each (roughly 3 oz each). Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

2

Mix cornmeal, flour, and taco seasoning in a shallow dish. Toss each fish piece in the mixture until evenly coated; shake off excess.

3

Shred red cabbage, chop cilantro, and juice the limes. Whisk sour cream with 1 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt to make crema.

4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a pinch of breading sizzles on contact (about 350°F / 175°C).

5

Fry fish in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

6

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

7

Place one piece of fried fish on each warm tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, a drizzle of crema, and salsa. Garnish with jalapeño slices if using.

8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
