3. To make the batter for the fish, whisk together flour and cornstarch in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk. Mix until perfectly smooth.

 
4. Pat dry fish filets and dip into batter until well-coated.

 
5. Heat up an inch of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Fry strips of battered fish, cooking each side for about 3 minutes until golden.

I was just reviewing our fish taco recipes and all three are variations by you. Each one is deliciously different. I might combine this one with your fresh lime crema. Yum, my mouth is watering.
