Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coastal Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Walleye

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each walleye fillet in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Cook the Walleye

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded walleye fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the hoagie rolls. Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each roll, add a piece of fried walleye, top with coastal slaw, tomato slices, and Fresno pepper slices. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
