Fish Fillet

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Mix the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Gradually add in the beer or sparkling water, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should bubble and float.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry in batches, 3-4 fillets at a time, for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the fish is frying, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried fish fillet, a slice of tomato, a few pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.

  3. 6

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to secure the sandwich. Repeat for all sandwiches.
