    For the pickled onions, mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 mins. Rinse and drain.
    For the sour cream sauce, mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    For the salsa, slice kernels off corn cobs and add to a bowl with 2 tbsp of the sour cream sauce, half the cilantro, black beans, tomatoes and cabbage. Mix gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
    Brush tortillas lightly with oil. Heat a large skillet on high heat. Cook the tortillas for a minute or so each side until just starting to crisp. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven.
    Heat butter and a splash of oil in a same skillet on medium-high heat. Season fish fillets. Cook in batches for a couple of minutes each side or until just cooked. Keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining fish.
    To serve, place tortillas on warmed plates. Top with some salsa, fish, pickled onion, avocado, a dollop of sour cream sauce and remaining cilantro.
