Steps
- Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Mix cornmeal, salt, and paprika in a shallow dish, then coat the fish on both sides.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and break into bite-sized pieces.
- Warm the taco shells according to package directions. Toss corn and shredded cabbage together with the juice from the lime. Fill each shell with fish, then top with the corn-cabbage mixture.
