ingredients
Fish Filets:
- 2 large tilapia fillets (about 1.25 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups finely crushed oyster or Saltine crackers
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cups oil for frying (peanut, canola, or vegetable)
Tartar Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons minced white onion
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons minced dill pickles with juice
- Pinch salt
For serving:
- 4-6 slices American cheese
- 4-6 white hamburger buns
directions
- Cut the fillets into squares about 3" by 3". Reserve scraps as well (waste not, want not!).
- Place fish in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place crumbs in a shallow bowl and line a plate or baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
- Drain excess lemon juice and add milk to the fish.
- Lift pieces out carefully and dredge in crumbs to cover completely. Dip in milk again and then crumbs for a good coating. Place coated fillets on the paper and refrigerate 10 minutes up to 3 hours to help coating adhere.
- Make your tartar sauce:
- Mix onions, pickles, and mayo with a pinch of salt and a dash of white pepper
- Refrigerate.
- Unwrap and cut the cheese slices
- Heat 1/2 inch depth of oil in a large skillet until a crumb sizzles when dropped in. It should be about 350ºF with a thermometer.
- Fry fillets cold from the fridge for about 2 minutes on each side.
- When golden and cooked through, remove fillets to a rack.
- Warm the buns in the microwave for 10 seconds or until soft.
- Put a slice of cheese on the bottom of each bun, top with a fish square or two for larger sandwiches, a big scoop of tartar sauce and each right away!
