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.

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