Method
Preparing the Fish Fillet
- 1
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended. Gradually add the beer (or sparkling water) and mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Batter the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets in the hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets and drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Sandwich
- 5
Melt the Cheese
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each hot fish fillet immediately after frying. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- 6
Prepare the Buns
Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
- 7
Assemble the Sandwich
On the bottom half of each bun, layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the fried fish fillet with melted cheese. Top with a generous dollop of TBONZ tartar sauce, then place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
