In a large bowl, pour 1 cup buttermilk over the 800g catfish fillets. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup cornmeal,
5 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and
5 tsp black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the catfish from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly.
Heat
5 cup canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the catfish fillets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small bowl, whisk together
5 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp chopped cilantro to make the chipotle crema.
Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble, place a portion of fried catfish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage and a generous drizzle of chipotle crema.
