Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of cornmeal and a pinch of salt in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cod Fillets

    Dip each cod fillet first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the cornmeal mixture. Ensure they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cod

    Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cod fillets and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the cod is frying, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or on a grill until golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, a fried cod fillet, a slice of American cheese, and a generous amount of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while crispy with extra tartar sauce on the side if desired.
