Method
Preparing the Fish Fillets
- 1
Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
- 2
Make the Batter
Gradually pour in the cold beer (or sparkling water) while whisking the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish fillets.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it's ready.
- 4
Batter the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Sandwich
- 6
Prepare the Buns
While the fish is frying, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.
- 7
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried fish fillet, a slice of tomato, a few pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.
- 8
Complete the Sandwich
Top each sandwich with the other half of the bun and press down gently.
- 9
Serve
Serve the fried fish fillet sandwiches immediately while hot with your choice of side.
