Ingredients

Scale
For the Fish:
  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or cornmeal for extra crunch)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Sandwich:

 

  • 4 brioche or sandwich buns, toasted
  • ½ cup tartar sauce (or mayo)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • ½ cup pickles or sliced onions (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Breading Stations:

    • In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Old Bay seasoning.
    • In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg.
    • In a third bowl, place panko breadcrumbs.

  • Coat the Fish:

    • Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  • Fry the Fish:

    • Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).
    • Fry fish for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
    • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

 

  • Assemble the Sandwiches:

    • Spread tartar sauce on the bottom bun.
    • Add lettuce, tomato slices, pickles (if using), and the crispy fish fillet.
    • Top with the other half of the bun and serve warm!

Notes

  • Make it spicy by adding hot sauce to the buttermilk mixture or using spicy mayo.
  • Oven-Baked Option: Spray breaded fillets with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
