-
Cut your fish into about 1" strips. (I like to cut the fish in strips so you have more battered surfaces.) Rub some of the spice mix over the fish.
-
Have your Jalapeno Creme Fraiche*, mango salsa, and your shredded cabbage topping ready before starting to fry your fish.
-
Prepare you batter and dip your fish strips into the batter a few pieces at a time. Deep fry in 375° oil until brown, crispy and done. Drain.
-
For the cabbage topping I simply shredded both the red and green cabbages as finely as possible, mix in a little fresh cilantro and if you want a little more heat add in a little chopped fresh jalapeno.
-
*If you don't want to make the Jalapeno Creme Fraiche, use sour cream with some fresh chopped jalapeno and a squeeze of lime juice. (see below how to make Creme Fraiche)
-

-
2-3 mangos, peeled and chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped fine

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

-
Rub:
-
3 Tbsp. salt
-
1 Tbsp. each chili powder, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.

Jalapeno Creme Fraiche:
-
Jalapeno Creme Fraiche -- Take 1 cup whipping cream and stir in one tablespoon of buttermilk. Cover loosely with a paper towel or tea towel. Let set 24 hours on your counter. It will become very thick. Before refrigerating it, add in 1 large jalapeno pepper finely chopped and juice of one lime.
