Fish Sandwich Ingredients:
- 2–3 fillets of white fish (like tilapia, cod, or basa)
- 4 slices of soft sandwich bread or buns
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1 tsp paprika or chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2–3 tbsp oil for shallow frying
- Lettuce leaves or cabbage, thinly sliced
- Tomato slices
- Onion slices
- Tartar sauce, mayonnaise, or any preferred spread
- Lemon wedges for garnish
Fish sandwich Instructions:
Prepare the fish: Pat fish fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Coat the fillets: Mix flour and cornmeal in a plate. Dredge the fish in the mixture evenly.
Fry the fish: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry fillets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the bread: Lightly toast the bread slices or buns for extra texture.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread tartar sauce or mayonnaise on the bread. Layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, and fried fish.
Serve immediately: Squeeze fresh lemon over the fish for extra zing and enjoy while warm.
Recipe Notes :
Choose firm white fish: Tilapia, cod, or basa work best—they hold together when frying.
Extra crunch: Add breadcrumbs or panko to the coating for a crispier bite.
Fresh veggies: Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or even pickles enhance flavor and texture.
Spicy option: Add chili sauce or hot mayo for a street-style kick.
