Method
Preparing the Fish
- 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
Add Sparkling Water
Gradually add cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside.

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).

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.

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

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

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.

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