I had a craving for a fish sandwich; however, I didn’t want to make a spicy, or regional statement… I just wanted a nice tasting fish sandwich, with clean fish taste. In this recipe, I made the fish the star of the show, and not the spices, so choose a good fresh variety of firm white fish. I choose cod. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essentials: down home fish sliders

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

Cut the fish to match the size of the buns that you are using.
Step 4

Chef’s Note: For these sliders, I’m using my homemade yeast rolls.
Step 5

Add the 1/2 flour, and some salt and pepper, to a shallow dish.
Step 6

Add enough oil to a small pan, or pot to come to a depth of 1-inch (3cm), and heat to 350f (175c)
Step 7

THE BATTER
Step 8

Add all the ingredients for the batter, except the club soda, to a small bowl, and whisk to combine.
Step 9

Add the club soda in a steady stream, and mix until combined, but don’t over mix.
Step 10

Chef’s Note: A few lumps in the batter is okay; in fact, it’s expected.
Step 11

Dredge the fish pieces in the flour, and thoroughly coat.
Step 12

Shake off the excess, and dip them into the batter.
Step 13

Immediately add the battered fish to the hot oil, and repeat for the remainder of the fish.
Step 14

Pan fry until they are golden brown, about 2 – 3 minutes per side, and then drain on paper towels.
Step 15

PREP/PREPARE
Step 16

Brush a bit of tartar sauce to the bottom half of the rolls.
Step 17

Add some lettuce and a thin slice of tomato.
