Dredge catfish in flour mixture until well coated and fry a few at a time in hot oil until golden and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all have been fried and then refry them for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. This will make them crispier. Drain again.

Spread each tortilla with a tablespoons of tartar sauce and some of the coleslaw and finally catfish pieces.
Serve with additional tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
