For the Fish

Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Battering Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Dip and Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillet into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain the Fish

    Remove the cooked fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a slice of fried fish, some tomato slices, pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.

  3. 8

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the bun and gently press down. Repeat for all sandwiches.
