Fried Fish With Tartar Sauce Recipes

FRIED FISH FINGERS WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottomed pot, over medium heat. Cut the fillets, horizontally into strips, 1/2-inch thick. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Combine the flours and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, coating completely. Dip each piece in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the fish for a second time in the flour, coating completely. Fry the fish in batches until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with lemon halves and tartar sauce and garnish with parsley.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add lemon juice and salt, to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

FRIED FISH WITH DILL TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, dill and sugar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry lightly. Season with a little salt and pepper.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pour into a medium paper bag.
• Add the fish to the bag a few pieces at a time and shake the bag to coat each piece evenly. Transfer the coated fish to a sheet of parchment paper.
• Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers about 375˚ F. Working in batches, add the fish fillets to the hot oil and fry until they start to float and turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the fried fillets to a rack set on a baking sheet to drain off any excess oil. Serve with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

CAPTAIN JACK'S FRIED FISH SANDWICH WITH HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F.
• Place the flour in a small shallow mixing bowl or pie plate. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt and cayenne, and stir to combine. Place the beaten eggs in another bowl, and place the panko in a third bowl.
• Dredge a fillet in the flour, then dip in the eggs and finish with a coating of panko. Repeat for the remaining fillets. Place the fillets in the oil and fry until golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Place each fillet on a roll. Top each with 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and some pickle slices. Finish with 2 tablespoons Homemade Tartar Sauce or serve it alongside.
• Place the mayonnaise, chives, cornichons, parsley, capers, lemon juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper fitted with a steel blade, and pulse until the pickles are finely chopped and all the ingredients are mixed but not pureed.

FRIED FISH WITH DILL TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dill tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, dill and sugar in a bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.
• For the fried fish: Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet (I use cast iron) on medium heat until the oil reaches about 375 degrees F.
• Clean the fish with cold water and dry just a tad; the fish should be a little wet to help the cornmeal mixture stick to it. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the fish. Add the cornmeal and flour to a paper bag. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning. Add the fish to the flour mixture and coat each piece evenly. Transfer the breaded fish to a plate or cutting board.
• Lay the fish into the oil in batches and fry until they start to float and are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Rest them on a rack to let the extra oil run off. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve with the tartar sauce.

CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
• Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
• Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
• When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

• Mix egg and water in a bowl.
• Dredge cod pieces on all sides and shake off excess flour.
• Dip dredged pieces into egg wash and shake off excess egg.
• Dip into flour once again and shake off excess flour.
• Fry in hot fat until the pieces are nicely browned.Don't crowd the pan. Depending on the thickness of the fish it could take 2 to 5 minutes. Try to turn no more than once.

BEER-BATTERED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a bowl with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200°. Cover a cookie sheet with paper towels and top with a wire rack.
• Heat about 3" of oil to approximately 365° in a medium sized pot.
• Meanwhile, mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in egg. Slowly add the beer while whisking.
• Dip fish pieces in the batter and place on plate or the wire rack you will be using to drain the fried fish. I usually double dip in the batter if I have some left over once the batter dries on the awaiting fish.
• Place fish pieces, two at a time in the oil. Cook until the fish is done and the crust is lightly golden, about 4 minutes for 3/4-inch thick fillets.
• Remove fish with tongs and put on rack to drain. Sprinkle salt over the hot fish and put the baking sheet in the oven.
• Repeat in batches with the remaining fish.

FRIED FISH SANDWICHES WITH CUCUMBERS AND TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Tartar Sauce
• Mix mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, relish, capers, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.
• Fish and assembly:
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Whisk Old Bay seasoning, baking powder, cayenne, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch in another medium bowl.
• Set a deep cast-iron skillet or large Dutch oven fitted with thermometer on grill; pour in oil to come 1" up sides. Heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers lengthwise. Toss in a third medium bowl with vinegar and gently massage with your hands to soften them slightly. Let sit, tossing occasionally, at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
• Lightly brush insides of rolls with butter and grill just until toasted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
• Gently whisk egg and beer in a small bowl to combine, then gently whisk into Old Bay mixture in 3 additions. Working in 2 batches, season fish lightly with salt. Dredge in flour mixture, knocking off any excess, then dip into batter and lift up with a fork, letting excess drain off and wiping against side of bowl to eliminate any thick drips. (Batter should completely coat the fish without looking clumpy.)
• Carefully lower fish into oil and fry, turning halfway through, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece registers 125°F-130°F, 7-9 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.
• Drain most of vinegar from cucumbers and toss in dill. Build sandwiches with fried fish, cucumbers, lettuce, and tartar sauce.
• Do Ahead
• Cucumbers (without dill) can be pickled 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

PAN FRIED FISH WITH CAJUN TARTAR SAUCE
