Method

Fish Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet first in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded fish fillets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the fish is frying, toast the slider buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden.

Creamy Coleslaw

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Toss the Slaw

    Mix everything together until the cabbage is well coated with the dressing. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes for flavors to meld.

Pickled Cherry Pepper Tartar Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped pickled cherry peppers, chopped capers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted slider bun, place a piece of fried fish, followed by a generous spoonful of coleslaw, a slice of pickle, and a drizzle of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
