SOUTHERN FRIED FISH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the rice flour, Creole seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder smoked paprika and yellow cornmeal, and whisk together until evenly mixed. Add the seasoned cornmeal to a large piece of wax paper.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet until at least 325 degrees F (or add a few drops of cornmeal and if it sizzles, it's ready to start frying).
• Rinse off the fish fillets and place in a large baking dish. Shake a few drops of hot sauce on both sides of 2 of the fish fillets, then coat both sides with the seasoned cornmeal. Fry the coated fillets in the hot oil, without turning, until the edges turn brown, about 4 minutes. Flip over and fry about another 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Repeat the coating and frying with the remaining 2 fillets.

SOUTHERN-STYLE FRIED FISH SANDWICH RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Coleslaw: Mix together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, celery salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots and gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 3 hours. Herb tartar sauce: Mix together all of the ingredients and refrigerate until needed, at least 1 hour. Fish: Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Set up 3 separate bowls-one filled with the flour, one with the cornmeal, and one with the eggs. Dredge the fillets in the flour, then in the eggs, and then into the cornmeal. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the fish filets in batches until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined platter. Sandwiches: Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons tartar sauce on each side of each kaiser roll. Place 2 fish fillets in each sandwich, spreading another layer of tartar sauce between the fillets. Serve immediately while fish is still warm, with the coleslaw on the side.

FRIED FISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven halfway full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine in a large bowl. Whisk in the beer, being sure to remove any lumps. Stir in the hot sauce.
• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet in the beer batter and add to the fryer, one at a time. Fry until brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer the fillets to a wire rack on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Spread the Lemon Tarragon Tartar Sauce on the bottoms and tops of the rolls. Add the fillets and top with some lettuce and the cheese slices, if using. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Fold together the mayonnaise, pickles, scallions, capers, tarragon, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve, about 20 minutes.

FRIED FISH SANDWICH

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.
