Can I use frozen fish?

Absolutely, Just thaw it overnight in the fridge, then pat it super dry with paper towels. Frozen fish tends to release more water, so you might need an extra minute or two in the oven.

How do I make it spicier?

Ooh, my favorite question. Add a pinch of cayenne to the spice mix, toss in some diced jalapeños, or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce. My current obsession is chipotle Tabasco - smoky perfection.

Can I air-fry the fish?

You bet, 400°F for 8-10 minutes does the trick in my air fryer. Just don't overcrowd the basket - give those fillets some breathing room for maximum crispiness. If you are interested in air frying techniques, check out guides on air fryer crisps .

What other fish works well?

Mahi-mahi and halibut are fantastic if you want to splurge. For budget options, try swai or even salmon (though the flavor will be stronger). Just adjust cooking time for thicker cuts.

Can I prep anything ahead?

The spice mix keeps for weeks in a jar. You can also chop toppings a few hours early - just keep them separate in the fridge with a damp paper towel over the cabbage to stay crisp.
