And now I know what I'm making for dinner.
Halibut Fish Tacos
Serves 4
1 cup corn flour (Bob's Red Mill is good)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground red chile
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds halibut fillet, cut into 2-inch pieces to easily fit tacos
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced cilantro
4 cups thinly sliced white cabbage
1/4 cup canola oil + more if needed
Salsas
1 dozen corn tortillas, warmed just before serving
Instructions: Pour the corn flour out on a large sheet of waxed paper and combine with the salt, red chile and pepper. Dust the pieces of fish so all surfaces are coated. Let them sit on the remaining seasoned flour while you prepare the cabbage.
Just before you cook the fish, combine the mayonnaise with the vinegar and cilantro. Toss with the cabbage. You want the cabbage to be barely moistened but enough to be a slaw. Set aside.
Redust the fish pieces with the remaining corn flour mixture. The damp fish absorbs the coating, so a second coating will help create a better crust. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish pieces, a few at a time, and pan fry until golden on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add more oil, a tablespoon at a time, as needed. Remove the fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the fish pieces.
Bring the golden fish, cabbage, warm tortillas and salsas to your table, and let everyone assemble their own tacos.

And yes, Bob's Red Mill is probably the best way to go; their products are top-notch.
Have printed this out - plan to hit my daughter with it and say I'll do this if you (she) will promise to whip up a batch of her to-die-for guacamole to go with.
Bushco left us in a world of shit. But at least we still have love -and good munchies- to see us through til the world finds its axis once again.
