Time 30m

Yield 5 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 18

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 pounds thin white fish fillets (catfish, flounder, etc.)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon plus a pinch garlic powder
1 teaspoon plus a pinch paprika
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
5 hoagie rolls, buttered and toasted
Tartar sauce, for serving
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for topping
Sliced tomato, for topping
Pickles, for serving

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.

I'm not usually a fan of fish sandwiches, but this one was really good. The fish was flaky and the breading was crispy. The tartar sauce was also very good. I would definitely make this again.

This sandwich was amazing! The fish was perfectly cooked and the flavors were incredible. I loved the crunch of the breading and the tangy tartar sauce. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the tartar sauce was tangy and flavorful. I served it on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, and onion, and it was delicious. My family lo

This Hot and Crispy Fish Sandwich was an absolute delight! The fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy golden-brown crust and a flaky, tender interior. The combination of flavors from the tartar sauce, lemon juice, and dill was spot-on, and the
