I love to catch fish and eat fish. And somehow, fish sandwiches never seem quite perfect when you order them out anywhere, so here's my recipe. Maybe you /images/graemlins/tongue.gif burger freaks can try a change of diet....
Instead of driving into the next burger outlet, go to the store instead when you're hungry and pick up a piece of fresh, firm, white fish, or other fish - anything'll do - whatever you personally like. Also pick up some Progresso Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (comes in a blue container and you can get most places I think) or something similar. Basically it's seasoned breadcrumbs. With thick fillets of fish I slice them horizontally before starting, to get approx 3 quarter inch to one inch thick pieces.
Schwizz up one raw egg with a little bit of minced/crushed garlic and a jolt of chili sauce if you want a wee nip to it. I use just a small amount of that super hot caribbean stuff and half a tsp each of garlic and chili sauce. That's the whole trick to get the top flavour with your nice fish: garlic and chili in a seasoned crumb crust.
Dunk your fish in the egg mix, then the breadcrumbs. Shallow fry in hot oil. Slap inbetween toasted bread (granary type stuff for me) with lettuce and sliced vine tomatoes and some mayonnaise (or mayo w/ wasabi mixed in) if you like.
It's never failed to impress fish sandwich conoisseurs.
If you really can't get fresh fish, well, hard luck and enjoy the burger.
