Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| White fish fillets (cod or haddock) | 4 |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Eggs, beaten | 2 |
| Breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch) | 1 cup |
| Salt | 1 tsp |
| Black pepper | 1/2 tsp |
| Garlic powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Hamburger buns | 4 |
| American cheese | 4 slices |
| Tartar sauce | 1 cup |
| Vegetable oil (for frying) | 2 cups |
Instructions:
- Prepare the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set up a dredging station: Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat each fillet in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you add the fish.
- Fry the fish: Carefully place each breaded fillet into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place a slice of American cheese on each hot fillet, then toast the hamburger buns. Spread tartar sauce on the top bun, place the fish fillet on the bottom bun, and cover with the top bun. Serve immediately.
