1 lb catfish fillet, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt
pepper, o taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
peanut oil (for deep frying)
8 flour tortillas (6 inch)
8 tablespoons store bought tartar sauce
3 drops Tabasco sauce
6 ounces store bought Coleslaw

Steps:

Heat oil in deep fryer to 375°F.
Rinse and pat dry catfish pieces and set aside.
Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
Dredge catfish in flour mixture until well coated and fry a few at a time in hot oil until golden and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all have been fried and then refry them for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. This will make them crispier. Drain again.
In a cast iron or other heavy skillet, spray with nonstick spray and heat the tortillas on each side. Place in oven to keep warm. Meanwhile, mix the tartar sauce with a few drops of Tobasco.
Spread each tortilla with a tablespoons of tartar sauce and some of the coleslaw and finally catfish pieces.
Serve with additional tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
