Fish Sandwiches
Easy, nutritious meal that is low in cost, fish is a great option. Normally when I have fish, it is just rolled in flour or breaded and pan fried, one day I wanted something different so I put this together. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Pangasius, boneless and skinless, see notes
- flour, for dredging
- 4 hamburger buns, or plain bread works fines
- Cheddar cheese, real cheese, sliced from a block
- lettuce
- tartar sauce, OR make this from a shortcut listed on this site
- olive oil, as needed for frying
- lump crab meat, optional, real crab meat
Instructions
- Get your fixings ready first, slice some Cheddar cheese, get the mayo and tartar sauce out, tear off a few leaves of lettuce. Set 4 buns aside, spread tartar sauce on the top and bottom buns, then add your cheese. (I used just bread slices, my preferred way actually, home made tartar sauce, and the cheese is cut from a block.)
- Cut fish fillets in half and dredge in flour. Pan fry in olive oil until golden brown.
- Top each bun bottom with a half fillet, top that with lettuce and the top bun. Delicious! As an option, top each fillet with lump crab meat.
Notes
Pangasius is also called Shark Catfish, it does not have a catfish flavor, more like a whitefish. The meat is flaky when cooked, firm, and a mild taste.
Pangasius runs about 110 Baht per kilo, I bought 3 fillets 2 days ago for 66 Baht, that would make 6 sandwiches. Fish prepared this way is a one time deal, try not to have left overs. If you fry to many fillets, just refrigerate and fry to warm up the next day.
Even with the Cheddar cheese, imported from New Zealand, you only use a few slices per sandwich so I do not factor in that cost. Tartar sauce is Tesco brand, very reasonable prices and last many meals.
Over all, about 65 cents per meal per person.
