CAPTAIN JACK'S FRIED FISH SANDWICH WITH HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F.
- Place the flour in a small shallow mixing bowl or pie plate. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt and cayenne, and stir to combine. Place the beaten eggs in another bowl, and place the panko in a third bowl.
- Dredge a fillet in the flour, then dip in the eggs and finish with a coating of panko. Repeat for the remaining fillets. Place the fillets in the oil and fry until golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Place each fillet on a roll. Top each with 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and some pickle slices. Finish with 2 tablespoons Homemade Tartar Sauce or serve it alongside.
- Place the mayonnaise, chives, cornichons, parsley, capers, lemon juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper fitted with a steel blade, and pulse until the pickles are finely chopped and all the ingredients are mixed but not pureed.
CRISPY FRIED FISH SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Stir together all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Allow the fish to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal and baking powder. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
- Pour the oil to a depth of 2 ½ inches in a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to a temperature of about 375 degrees F.
- Dip each piece of fish in the egg mixture first, gently shaking off the excess, and then into the flour mixture to coat. Shake off any extra coating. Place the battered fish on a wire rack.
- Working in batches, if necessary, carefully place the fish in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Gently turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined tray. Lightly salt the fillets as soon as they come out of the oil.
- Place the first batch of fish in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm while you cook the second batch.
- Serve on buttered, toasted rolls with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce.

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:
- If you don't have any dill, you can use another fresh herb like parsley or chives.
- For a crispier sandwich, use day-old bread.
- If you don't have any tartar sauce, you can make your own by mixing together mayonnaise, chopped pickles, and lemon juice.
- Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or french fries.
Conclusion:
These fried fish sandwiches are the perfect summer meal. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a picnic or potluck. The crispy fish, creamy tartar sauce, and refreshing cucumber salad make a sandwich that's sure to please everyone.
