Start heating 1 inch of oil in a frying pan.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of prepared buttermilk pancake mix with 2/3 cup water and mix until just combined, leaving lumps for air.

Slice cabbage super thin, about a quarter of a small cabbage.

Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the cabbage and mix.

Dice 2 tablespoons of red onion and add to the cabbage mixture along with about 4 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, then toss like a salad and set aside.

Check if the oil is hot enough for frying.

Dunk the Cod fish into the pancake batter, allowing excess batter to drip off before placing it in the hot oil.

Fry the fish for about 2 minutes, turning them to ensure even cooking, then place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Salt the taco shells while they are hot after frying.

Assemble the tacos by placing avocado on one side, the cabbage slaw on the other, and then the fried fish in the middle, adding more hot sauce and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
