1 small (150 grams) carrot, shredded
1/4 small (100 grams) cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 and 1/3 tablespoons olive oil
5 (8-inch) flour tortillas
5 teaspoons mayonnaise

Sprinkle curry powder evenly on both sides of each fillet. Gently rub by hand to evenly coat the fish.
Sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the fillet and rub by hand, until the fillet is evenly coated. Cut fillet into large pieces.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to a nonstick skillet and swirl to spread the oil. Heat over medium high heat until warm. Place fish pieces into skillet without overlapping them (you might need to cook fish in several batches depending on the size of your skillet). Grill and cook without moving for 1 minute. Continue to cook until the bottom turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip to cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness and type of fish. If the fish is not cooked through yet, turn to medium or medium low heat, cover and cook until fish is cooked through. Cook the rest of the fish in same method. Transfer the cooked fish to a plate to cool off.

Heat a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grill tortilla, one side at a time, until both sides are lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
(Option 1) To make cabbage and carrot slaw - Add a pinch of salt and pepper, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of lime juice to the bowl with the cabbage, carrot, and cilantro. Toss to mix well.

(Option 2) Use raw cabbage and carrot without making the slaw. (*see footnote)
To assemble tacos. Place one or two pieces of fish on a tortilla, top with cabbage carrot slaw (or shredded cabbage and carrot), and add 1 teaspoon mayonnaise.

To serve the tacos at a party, prepare the fish and cabbage carrot slaw (or shredded cabbage and carrot) ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Grill the fish and tortillas on the stovetop before assembling.

Spicy fish soup...Maeuntang

My dad and his homies get together at Christmas time and cook Croatian Bakalar. It's originally a salted cod and potato soup, but since they're lazy and purging salted cod takes forever, they've substituted with frozen pollack most of the time. I'm not sure if any of them have ever tried substituting a Gulf fish in there, even though they're more available here. It's definitely an acquired taste.

Tuna tarts- small 4" pie shell, fill with tuna chunks, ranch dressing and top with bacon bits. Only cook until tuna is warm.

Fried rare tuna- cube tuna, put in the freezer until the chucks are semi frozen, fry and enjoy raw fried tuna. Be careful when throwing the chunks into the grease.

I went on a charter trip once and brought back a bunch of snapper and AJ. I asked the captain how he cooks his fish. He told me to get a can of Cavendar's Greek Seasoning....

Here's a couple of different preparations you can do with it that are really delicious:

On the Half Shell, Parmesan Crusted:

Make score marks in the fillets. Mix together some Olive Oil with Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes and a little lemon juice. Brush your filets liberally. Sprinkle very generously with Cavendar's and Parmesan Cheese. Grill over med heat until it starts to pull away from the skin. Important to not baste while it's cooking and the cheese/spice makes a really nice crust on the top. This is great on snapper, redfish, you can do with Trout, but scale the filets and cook in an aluminum pan.

Pan fried: mix a very generous amount of Cavendar's with Italian Bread Crumbs. In a non stick skillet, add a few tablespoons of butter and olive oil. Heat to Med/High heat. Once skillet is nice and hot, cook the fish for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. Do this in batches to not overcrowd the skillet. Wipe out the skillet and put fresh oil and butter for each batch. If doing several batches, you can put on a wire rack on a sheet pan in the oven on low heat to keep warm.
