Fried Fish Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Fish

    Dredge each fish fillet in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a fried fish fillet on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a generous spoonful of tartar sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fried fish burgers immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
