Bread the Cod
Dip each cod fillet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornstarch mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Frying the Cod

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- 5
Fry the Cod
Carefully add the breaded cod fillets to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

While the cod is frying, slice the hoagie rolls and toast them lightly on a baking sheet in the oven or on a skillet.

Build the Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the inside of each toasted hoagie roll. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by tomato slices, and finally place the fried cod fillet on top.
