This is one of the meals I've been craving since our diet... I mean <em>watching our weight</em>. I've tried everything to keep the fish crispy for leftovers but it just doesn't work. You're right, though, it still tastes good. I actually like the cabbage better the next day as I'm not a fan of cabbage either and the dressing tends to overtake the flavor. Glad you liked it Pat.

I dragged my feet for two reasons, first, I don't really like cabbage, and second, I don't have a deep fryer and I really don't have any experience cooking like that. I thought this was going to be a lot of work, and while it isn't a 15 minute dish, it really is not that had. The sauce is easy, Theresa's take on it is that it is fancified Tartar Sauce. The slaw is easy, and so the only real challenge is the frying part, which I am sure if you have done it a few time is a snap. For me, doing it the first time, it was really not that difficult at all. I used an Irish Red for my beer in the batter, and this dish as a whole was really very good. The fried fish coupled with the slaw makes it a very crunchy meal which is a huge hit with both Theresa and our 6-year old girl. Tom made reference to the fish getting soggy for leftovers, and that certainly was true, hoever, after being reheated, the leftovers were still very good. I liked the slaw as well. I liked it alot on the tacos, leftover, it was OK, but again, I am not a big cabbage fan, so coming from me this should be a ringing endorsement. Bottom line, this is well worth the effort, I'll definately make it again. After repeated hounding by Theresa, I finally made this dish.
