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.

Steps:
- For the crispy fish: Heat 1 inch vegetable oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pan. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and 2 tablespoons hot sauce. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cayenne, chili powder and 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and paprika.
- In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), melt the butter with the honey, remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce and a pinch each garlic powder and paprika.
- In batches, dip the fish fillets into the egg mixture, coating each side, then let the excess drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, coating each side. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Use a pastry brush to coat each fillet with the melted butter mixture.
- For the sandwiches: Serve the fish on the toasted hoagie rolls with tartar sauce, shredded iceberg, sliced tomato and pickles.

Steps:
- Spicy Mayonnaise: In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, and rice vinegar until blended. Set aside.
- Preheat oil in saute pan.
- Wash fillets and pat dry with a towel. Lightly sprinkle with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
- In one bowl, place flour mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. In a separate bowl place the panko and in a third bowl, beat together the egg, Dijon mustard and 1 1/2 tbs. water.
- Dredge fillets into flour, then the egg mixture and lastly, the panko. Add fish or chicken to oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes depending on thickness. Remove to a paper towel lined platter.
- To assemble, spread the Spicy Mayonnaise mixture on both inner sides of the toasted pistolettes then layer within the hot fish (or chicken) fillets, romaine, tomatoes and onion slices.
- NOTE: For the chicken version, with a mallet pound skinless, boneless breast fillets to a 1/8" thickness then proceed with recipe instructions.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Kind of Fish: Select a firm-fleshed fish suitable for frying, such as cod, haddock, or tilapia. Ensure the fish is fresh and of good quality.
- Preparing the Fish: Cut the fish into uniform-sized pieces or fillets. Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the batter adhere better.
- Creating a Flavorful Batter: Combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gradually whisk in beer or club soda until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick and coat the back of a spoon.
- Seasoning the Fish: Before coating the fish in batter, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This helps enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Coating the Fish: Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow the excess batter to drip off before frying.
- Frying the Fish: Heat a large skillet or deep fryer filled with oil to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Draining and Serving: Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the crispy fish immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, coleslaw, or french fries.
