    If I didn't make this for Super Bowl Sunday...there would be an uprising! Delicious. If you want to fry the fish before your guests arrive, just keep them in a warm oven on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.

    I moved from California to New Orleans and was craving a true Baja style fish taco and these are truly A-mazing!!!! I've used this recipe several times and used both Catfish and Tilapia and everyone raved about them each time..

    Made this for the first time last night and it was a major success! Made the slaw and got the fish marinating well before dinner time. Even had the breading mixed and ready to dredge. By the time I started actually cooking, the real hard work had already been done and it was super easy. Fantastic flavor, 2 TBS honey may be too sweet for some - my guests loved it. I would just adjust the heat and sweet to suit your taste and don't be afraid to stray slightly from the recipe to get the flavor you're after. Added about 1-2 cups more cabbage than suggested. Initial mayo/honey to cabbage ratio was too "soupy" for me. I also added shrimp to make it fish and shrimp taco night. Served Spanish rice too. Great last minute decision.

    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.
