Pat fish dry. Season generously with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour, shaking off excess.

In the same skillet, char pineapple spears 1 minute per side over medium-high heat until caramelized.

Warm tortillas in the skillet 30 seconds per side, then fill each with cabbage slaw, flaked fish, and pineapple.

Drizzle with crema and salsa verde. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
