Instructions

Step 1: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk.
Step 2: Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture until well coated.
Step 3: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish fillets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly combined and set aside.
Step 5: Place a piece of crispy fish in each warm tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of cilantro lime slaw and add any additional toppings you prefer.
Step 6: Serve the tacos with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus and enjoy immediately.
