Steps:
- For the jackfruit: Drain cans of jack fruit and pull apart the fruit. Squeeze out and discard the seeds inside (only the seed pods are usable). Mix seed pods together in a bowl with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce, cumin, garlic powder and pepper.
- For the sandwich: Preheat a griddle to about 375 degrees F.
- Place four 4-ounce scoops jack fruit mixture on the griddle and heat until just a bit caramelized, then flip and cook the other side, about 3 minutes total. Toast buns and sauce one side with Vegan Chipotle Mayo and the other with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce. Place a jack fruit patty on each bun and add some coleslaw, pickles and onions to each.
- Combine vinegar, molasses, fruit spread, agave nectar, soy sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, onion powder, oil, liquid smoke, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, pepper, cumin, salt, cayenne and jalapeno in a saucepan and whisk together. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- Place the soy milk in a food processor, then turn it on low speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil and blend. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the pureed chipotle, mustard, vinegar, pepper, salt and sriracha until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
FRIED FISH SANDWICH
This fried fish sandwich doesn't stray far from the classic fast-food staple: breaded fish, a soft bun, a slice of cheese and tangy tartar sauce. The best part is you can put it together in just about the amount of time it would take to stand in line and order it at the counter. Capers, shallots and fresh dill make this tartar sauce feel a little fancy, but a splash of soy sauce adds the umami that takes it to a very familiar place. Flounder is an affordable choice for the recipe, but if you can't find it, substitute with sole or any mild flat fish.

Steps:
- Prepare the tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles and pickle brine, shallot, dill, capers and soy sauce. Season with salt to taste and set aside. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
- Prepare the fried fish: Heat oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium. Place flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate medium shallow bowls. Season flounder on both sides with salt and dredge in flour, dusting off excess, then transfer to egg wash, allow excess to drip off, then coat with panko.
- Working in batches, fry about 4 breaded fillets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with remaining fish.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread tartar sauce on both sides of each bun. Place 1 piece of fried fish on each bottom bun, then add a slice of cheese on top and another piece of fish on the cheese. The residual heat from the fish will help melt the cheese. Sandwich together and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh fish fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- Soak the fish fillets in milk for 30 minutes before frying to help keep them moist and tender.
- Use a light beer batter for a crispy and flavorful coating.
- Fry the fish fillets in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fish sandwiches immediately with tartar sauce, lettuce, and tomato.
Conclusion:
Captain Jack's Fried Fish Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a casual meal. The crispy fish fillets are paired with a creamy tartar sauce and fresh lettuce and tomato for a sandwich that is both satisfying and refreshing. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
