If you’re stuck at home and looking for a fresh fish option, why not make fried fish sandwiches? Tasty and (moderately) healthy, these make a great lunch or a fun dinner on the patio. They are not as difficult to make as you might think!

Ingredients f

• • 1 cup flour
  • 1 ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 lbs cod or mackerel fillets (haddock works well too)
  • 2 eggs whisked with a dash of pepper and and 2 tbsp water

• teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 3-4 cups of Crisco shortening (browns the batter nicely)
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Cut your fish into 8 oz pieces for easy battering
2. Grab 3 bowls and put egg wash in one, flour in the second and panko crumbs in the third.
3. Split your seasonings between the flour and crumbs, adding salt to both mixtures
4. In a dutch oven or large, deep skillet, heat your oil/shortening
5. While the oil heats, dredge the fish in egg wash then flour, egg wash again then bread crumbs
6. Rest the fillets for 10-15 minutes to the batter has a chance to adhere
7. Once your oil is hot, place the fish in for 4-5 minutes, flipping once at about 2 minutes and again at the end to ensure a golden brown color all over
8. When done, place the fish on a paper towel covered plate and pat some of the oil off the fish

To make a great sandwich, choose your favorite bread, I recommend a soft potato roll or brioche. Top it with lightly tossed coleslaw and a tablespoon of tartar sauce. Enjoy!
