Long John Silver's Fish Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A copycat recipe for the iconic fast-food fish sandwich featuring crispy battered fish fillets, tartar sauce, and soft buns.

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 large egg
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 4 soft hamburger buns
• 1/2 cup tartar sauce
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices American cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet in half crosswise to fit buns.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together cold water and egg. Pour into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth batter forms.
4. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
5. Dip each fish piece into batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place into hot oil. Fry in batches without overcrowding, about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. Toast buns lightly if desired. Spread tartar sauce on bottom buns, top with lettuce, fried fish, and cheese if using. Close with top buns.

Tips

• For extra crunch, add 2 tablespoons of cornmeal to the batter.
• Serve immediately for best texture.
• Leftover fried fish can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
