Ingredients
  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • ¼ cup red onion, minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1½ – 2 lbs white fish, cut into cubes
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Oil for frying
  • 8 large tortilla shells
  • guacamole (recipe follows if you want to make your own – it’s super yummy!)
  • Sour creamFOR THE GUACAMOLE:
  • large bunch cilantro, bottom ends twisted off
  • avocados
  • onion, chopped
  • garlic, chopped
  • juice of two limes
  • salt
Preparation Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot for frying.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, onion and cilantro.
  3. In a small bowl combine the cider vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and set aside.
  4. Make the guacamole from the recipe below.
  5. If you are using homemade tortillas or the ones I mentioned above that need to be cooked, go ahead and cook them now and set them in a tortilla warmer when done.
  6. Once the oil is nice and hot, combine the flour and paprika on a plate and dip each piece of fish, coating both sides. Carefully drop the fish pieces into the oil, be careful not to crown the pot. I fried about 3 batches, it doesn’t take long, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil with some tongs and place on a plate with a paper towel on it to catch the oil drippings.
  7. Place everything on the table and call everyone to dinner – it’s ready!FOR THE GUACAMOLE:
  8. Combine all the ingredients together in a food processor or a blender or just mash them with a fork, taste and pop it into the fridge until dinner or else you will likely eat it all while cooking everything else.
