Crispy Phish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cold water. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter the Cod

    Dip the cod fillets in the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sriracha Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to create the tartar sauce.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Crispy Phish

    On toasted semolina, layer the lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, avocado, crispy bacon, and the fried cod. Drizzle with sriracha tartar sauce.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
