Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Fish

    Start by cleaning the white fish fillets under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

Breading Mixture

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Egg Wash

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each marinated fish fillet into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 7

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

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

  2. 9

    Finish and Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
