Add to the coleslaw mixture, tossing gently to coat.
For the remoulade: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic, green onions, mustard, lemon juice, and dill. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Cut the catfish into strips.
Combine and whisk together the cornmeal and Cajun seasoning. Coat the catfish strips in the cornmeal mixture.
Fry the catfish, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Place 2 to 3 catfish strips in the center of each Fried Taco Shell. Top each evenly with the coleslaw mixture. Dollop with the remoulade.
Serve with sliced avocado and lime wedges, if desired.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the tortilla into the oil, folding into a taco shape using heatproof tongs. (You will have to hold its shape with the tongs while it fries.) Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Catfish on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 35 dollars per bottle.
