1. Combine cabbages and onion in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix vinegar, water, salt, brown sugar, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
3. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and a half (better more) before serving.

1. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, mango, red onion, scallions, jalapeño, cilantro, chives, and lime juice.

Part 3: Fish

1. Preheat grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle cod with oil, add cumin, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Grill each side for 5 minutes until the fish is easily flaked, fully cooked, and has a golden-brown crust.
3. Squeeze lime juice over the grilled fish and adjust seasoning to taste.

Part 4: Assembling the tacos:

1. Whisk the sauce into sour cream in a small bowl.
2. Place flaked fish onto a warmed tortilla.
3. Add mango sauce, a tablespoon of sour cream, and two tablespoons of cabbage slaw.
4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately.
