Fred’s Fish Sandwich

Notes

I “borrowed” this recipe from the legendary Fred Contaoi who fishes the FLW Tour in the Orange County Choppers boat. Fred recommends using any fish except largemouth bass for this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 servings
  • 4  6 ounce fish fillets, skin removed
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbl garlic powder
  • 3 tbls vegetable oil
  • 4 thin slices red onion
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 2 whole Ortega-type chile peppers, halved
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 burger buns, any type
  • 4 lettuce leaves

 

Directions

  1. Combine flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dust fish with flour mixture. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown fish on both sides. Top each piece of fish with onion, tomato, half of chile pepper and cheese. Place under a broiler, about 6 inches from the heat, unless cheese melts. Combine mayonnaise with Tabasco and lemon juice. Spread mayonnaise mixture on buns. Put lettuce on buns and place fish portion in each bun.
