Ingredients

Fish:

1 lb Cod fish filet
Salt
Pepper

Batter:

1 cup Flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 eggs whisked
1 ¼ cup beer I used modello, a cheap light beer works great

Tartar sauce :

¼ cup mayo
Squeeze of a Lemon
1 tsp Dill chopped
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp Relish
1/2 tsp capers optional

Toppings

Potato buns
Red onion
Lettuce

Instructions

Slice the fish into portions for the sandwich. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a bowl combine the flour with all the batter seasonings. Whisk in the egg, then gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and with no lumps. Take your time and don’t add too much beer because you don’t want a runny batter. If it seems too runny add a tad bit more flour. The batter should be able to stick to the fish without a lot falling off.
Heat frying oil in a skillet about 3 inches deep over medium high heat. Dip the fish into the batter, shake off excess and immediately start to fry. Fry the fish for about 3 minutes per side. Place the fish on a wire rack to cool so it doesn’t get soggy.
While the fish cools, make the tartar sauce. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the tartar sauce.
Assemble your sandwich, I like to use a brioche bun or potato roll bun. Eat and enjoy!
