Steps:
- Tartar Sauce
- Mix mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, relish, capers, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.
- Fish and assembly:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Whisk Old Bay seasoning, baking powder, cayenne, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch in another medium bowl.
- Set a deep cast-iron skillet or large Dutch oven fitted with thermometer on grill; pour in oil to come 1" up sides. Heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers lengthwise. Toss in a third medium bowl with vinegar and gently massage with your hands to soften them slightly. Let sit, tossing occasionally, at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
- Lightly brush insides of rolls with butter and grill just until toasted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
- Gently whisk egg and beer in a small bowl to combine, then gently whisk into Old Bay mixture in 3 additions. Working in 2 batches, season fish lightly with salt. Dredge in flour mixture, knocking off any excess, then dip into batter and lift up with a fork, letting excess drain off and wiping against side of bowl to eliminate any thick drips. (Batter should completely coat the fish without looking clumpy.)
- Carefully lower fish into oil and fry, turning halfway through, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece registers 125°F-130°F, 7-9 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.
- Drain most of vinegar from cucumbers and toss in dill. Build sandwiches with fried fish, cucumbers, lettuce, and tartar sauce.
- Do Ahead
- Cucumbers (without dill) can be pickled 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

[email protected]This recipe was a complete disaster. The fish was undercooked and the tartar sauce was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fish was dry and overcooked. The tartar sauce was also too runny. I'll have to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the fish and tartar sauce, and it was much better. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll adjust the seasonings to my liking.
