Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grouper

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each grouper fillet into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fillets

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated grouper fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of fried grouper on top, add a leaf of romaine lettuce and a slice of tomato, and cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot with your favorite side.
