2 to 3 cups vegetable oil for pan frying

Directions:
Cut catfish filets into 1-inch thick strips on the diagonal. Put fish in a medium size mixing bowl along with milk, mustard, hot sauce, 1/2 tsp salt and cayenne pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine. Refrigerate one hour.
Meanwhile, make the Chipotle Slaw by combining the chipotle pepper, mayonnaise, honey and lime juice in a large mixing bowl. Stir well, then add the shredded cabbage, red onions, green onions and stir to thoroughly combine. Season with the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt, and refrigerate until ready to assemble tacos.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or a deep fryer until a thermometer registers 350 degrees
In a shallow bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, 2 tsp salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder. Dredge each piece of fish in flour mixture until well coated on all sides. When oil is hot, gently place fish in the hot oil and fry until fish is golden brown on all sides - about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fish to a paper-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Put fish and slaw into tortilla and serve. Yummy!
