Instructions
- For the avocado-lime sauce: In a blender on low speed, mix the avocado, lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, sour cream, hot sauce and some salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
 - For the fish tacos: In a shallow bowl, mix the coriander, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, coffee, brown sugar and cornmeal until well combined. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and hot sauce together.
 - Shred the cabbage as finely as possible, and slice the radishes as thinly as possible. Set aside.
 - Pour the oil into a large saute pan and heat over medium-high heat.
 - Cut the fish into 12 sticks, approximately 3 ounces each. Roll each piece of fish in the egg mixture and then coat well in the cornmeal mixture.
 - In batches, place the breaded fish into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the fish on each side, approximately 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels, sprinkling the fish with a little salt as it comes out of the pan.
 - In a separate saute pan, heat the tortillas over high heat to brown slightly.
 - Place a piece of fish on each tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, avocado sauce and radish slices.
