Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cod Fish

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten

For Assembly

  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tartar sauce

Instructions

  1. Season the Cod: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the cod fillets to season them thoroughly.
  2. Prepare for Breading: Set up a breading station by placing flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Dredge each seasoned cod fillet first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
  3. Fry the Fillets: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cod fillets. Fry each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Toast the Buns: While the fish fries, toast the sandwich buns until lightly golden and crisp. Spread tartar sauce on the inside of each bun half to add flavor and moisture.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a crispy fried cod fillet on the bottom half of each bun. Add fresh lettuce leaves on top of the fish, then cover with the top half of the bun to complete the sandwich.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a slice of tomato to the sandwich.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crispier coating.
  • Make sure the oil is sufficiently hot before frying to prevent soggy coating.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
  • Can be served with fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.
