Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, whisk together eggs and milk in the second, and combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cod

    Dredge each cod fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure each piece is fully coated.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 5

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully add the breaded cod fillets to the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Remove the cooked fillets and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a slice of American cheese followed by a piece of fried cod. Top with romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion, and pickles. Add the top half of the bun.
