Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup club soda

- 3 cups Japanese bread crumbs (panko)

Instructions
- In the work bowl of a food processor, combine mayonnaise, honey, lime juice, and chipotle in adobo. Pulse until smooth. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 200°.
- In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, pour oil to a depth of 4 inches, and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 375° on a deep-fry thermometer.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk in club soda and hot sauce until smooth. To a separate shallow dish, add bread crumbs.
- Dip catfish pieces in batter, allowing excess to drip off ; coat in bread crumbs.
- Fry fish, in batches, until brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain, and keep warm in oven.
- Spray both sides of tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook tortillas until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- To assemble tacos, spread tortillas with mayonnaise mixture, and top with fish pieces and Apple Slaw. Serve immediately.
