BAJA FRIED FISH TACOS WITH SPICY CABBAGE SLAW



Baja Fried Fish Tacos With Spicy Cabbage Slaw image

I love these fish tacos. You can find them in many California areas. You can either order the fish grilled or fried and because I love deep fried food, it's always fried fish for me when ordering or making them. Besides the spicy cabbage slaw I also like to top the whole thing with mounds of salsa and taco sauce. Goes great with Pacifico!
