Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
4 oz. bread-and-butter pickles, plus 1/2 cup brine
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped dill
2 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
1 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 flounder fillets (about 2/3 lb. total), cut in half crosswise on a diagonal
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
8 slices Pullman bread
1 cup potato chips, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Combine onion, pickles, and pickle brine in a small bowl.
  • Mix mayonnaise, dill, hot sauce, pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in another small bowl.
  • Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls. Season each fish fillet with 1/2 tsp. salt. Working one at a time, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with 1/2 tsp. salt total.
  • Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with 3/4 cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and 1/4 cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with lemon wedges and more potato chips alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Pickled onions and dill sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup bread and butter pickle chips, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon pickle brine
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons (drained) capers, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
Kosher salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
4 flounder fillets (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Kosher salt
4 soft white buns
4 slices American cheese or Cheddar

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 a light-colored fish with a mild flavor, such as tilapia, cod, or flounder.
  • Cut the fish into strips or pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Coat the fish in a light layer of flour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
  • Fry the fish in the hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fried fish on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as tartar sauce, coleslaw, or french fries.

Conclusion:

Jimmy's Fried Fish Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The fish is crispy and flaky on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The sandwich is served on a soft bun with your favorite toppings. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy fish, then you should definitely try Jimmy's Fried Fish Sandwich.
