New England Fried Fish Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A classic New England-style fried fish sandwich featuring crispy beer-battered cod, tangy tartar sauce, and fresh toppings on a soft bun.

Ingredients

• 1 lb cod fillets, cut into 4 pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup cold beer (lager or ale)
• 1 large egg
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 4 soft hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 1/2 cup tartar sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center and add beer and egg; whisk until smooth. Let batter rest 5 minutes.
2. Pat cod pieces dry with paper towels. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Dip each cod piece into batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in hot oil. Fry in batches without crowding, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Drain on paper towels.
4. Spread tartar sauce on bottom halves of toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and fried fish. Cover with bun tops.
5. Serve immediately with extra tartar sauce and lemon wedges if desired.

Tips

• Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable for frying.
• Keep oil temperature steady; use a thermometer.
• For extra crispiness, let battered fish rest 5 minutes before frying.
