    These are awesome! We tried the recipe with Tilapi because that is what we had in the freezer. Flavor is great and we will be making them again!!!

    Yes, the fish is good -- simple and tasty. But it's the chipotle slaw that makes this dish amazing. I've paired the slaw with pulled pork sandwiches and even a reuben -- fantastic!! Start easy on the chipotle in adobo, add the rest of the ingredients, and then continue to add the chipotle until you reach your desired heat. I like spicy, but the first time I made it according to recipe and the heat killed me.

    This coleslaw is delightful! I didn't prepare the fish, i made this coleslaw for chipolte chicken taco night at my house for my family christmas weekend. Wow! It's went so well with our menu items, it was so easy. I will be making more of it in the future. As usual Thank you Emeril.

    Catfish is so much easier to get in Texas than something like mahi mahi and makes perfect fish tacos.. Amazing with the Essence! Awesome slaw too!

    Yum. I simplified a bit by just dredging the fish (I used talipia fillets in the flour, cornmeal and Essence. Can't imagine they could be better, but maybe next time I'll go for the marinade step. Also just used enough oil in large flat skillet to fry the fish. Deep frying isn't necessary - just need to be able to flip the fish carefully.
    Coleslaw was awesome and the perfect match for the fish. Instead of frying the tortillas in oil I lightly brushed with olive oil and crisped them on the grill just until they were toasty on both sides.

    I didn't make the fish, but I did make the slaw several times. It's amazing, but only add 1/2 the honey (1 TB instead of 2 that it calls for or its too sweet. Its really good though!

    I didn't make the catfish taco, but did meke the slaw to accompany BBQ pulled pork. It is excellent. Highly recommended. You can give it more kick by badding more chipotle, but proceed with caution.

    I love Rubio's fish tacos and since I've moved from Las Vegas I've missed them so much. Not so much tonight!! I've just made the catfish tacos! They were awesome! I used soft corn tortillas and served them with lime. That slaw is very good and who doesn't love fried catfish?! : I will be making these at least once a month.
