Step 1
Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Spread flour on a plate. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Coat each fillet lightly in flour, shaking off excess. Slide into hot oil and don't move for 3 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 4
Flip fish once and cook 2 minutes more until cooked through. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 5
Toss cabbage with crema, juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt until slaw coats evenly.
Step 6
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side. Break fish into bite-sized pieces, fill each tortilla, top with slaw, squeeze remaining lime, and serve immediately.
