Imagine sinking your teeth into a thick, juicy fish filet, perfectly breaded and fried to a golden crisp, all nestled between a soft, steamed bun and topped with a dollop of tangy tartar sauce. It’s a match made in heaven, folks!

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Can I really make this at home?” And the answer is a resounding yes! With just a few simple ingredients and some basic kitchen tools, you can create a Filet-o-Fish sandwich that rivals even the best fast food joints.

First, start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need some skinless cod fillets, kosher salt, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cornstarch, flour, paprika, panko breadcrumbs, brioche hamburger buns, American cheese slices, and of course, some tartar sauce.

Next, heat about 2 inches of canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 360 degrees F. While the oil is heating up, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle them with kosher salt.

In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cornstarch, flour, and paprika. Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Working with one fillet at a time, dip it into the egg mixture, coating all sides, then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs to coat.

Once the oil is hot, gently add 2 fillets to the pot and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fillets from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets.

While the fillets are cooking, place the bottom buns on a large microwavable plate and top each one with a cheese slice. Lightly sprinkle a small paper towel with water and place it in a small microwavable bowl with the bottom buns. Cover the plate with an inverted microwavable glass bowl and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, or until the buns are steamy and the cheese is melted.

Immediately top the bottom buns with a fish fillet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of tartar sauce. Cover with the top buns and serve immediately with shoestring fries. Repeat with the remaining buns and fish fillets.

And that’s it! A delicious, crispy, and utterly irresistible Filet-o-Fish sandwich, made right in the comfort of your own home. So go ahead, indulge in this tasty treat and enjoy every last bite!
