Crispy Fish Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Crispy Fish Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the cold sparkling water and mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a fried fish fillet, sliced tomatoes, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fish sandwiches hot with additional tartar sauce on the side if desired.
