GRILLED HALIBUT FISH SANDWICHES WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron grill pan over medium high heat. Drizzle halibut pieces with oil, then season with crab boil seasoning, salt and pepper. Grill on a hot pan 4 or 5 minutes on each side.
• Place melted butter in a small dish and add juice of 1/2 lemon.
• Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl.
• Lightly toast buns on grill pan after fish is removed.
• To assemble, brush bun bottoms and fish with lemon butter. Top fish with tomato and lettuce and slather the bun tops with tartar sauce, then serve. Serve with Asparagus salad and fancy chips.
• Heat shallot and oil in microwave safe covered dish for 30 seconds or in a small pan on the stovetop over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Allow oil to cool back to room temperature.
• Hold a spear of asparagus at each end and snap it. The spear breaks where the tender tops meet the tough bottoms. Line the broken spear up with the bundle of cleaned asparagus. Cut the spears using the guideline of the snapped spear. Par boil the asparagus tops in 1 inch simmering water covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water and drain. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle and add to a bowl. Combine chopped, cooked asparagus with shredded endive, red bell pepper, cooked pasta, green peas and chopped parsley. The peas will defrost as you toss salad. Pour vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in cooled shallot oil. Pour dressing over salad and toss. Season salad with salt and pepper, to your taste and toss again.

FRIED HALIBUT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Rinse fish and pat dry; set aside. In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, salt and pepper to taste. Dip each fillet in the flour mixture to coat.
• In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and dill. Set aside.
• Spread the dill mayonnaise evenly on the rolls. Place a fish fillet on each roll and top with tomato and onion slices

SECRET FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
• In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
• In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
• Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
• Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
• Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

NASHVILLE HOT HALIBUT SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of the canola oil and the Scotch bonnet, bird's eye, and jalapeño chiles and cook until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350°F (175°C). Turn off the heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Working in 2 batches, pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a fine chinois or strainer into a medium pot. Heat again, then add the butter, cayenne, and paprika and stir with a whisk. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the remaining 4 cups (800 ml) canola oil over medium-low heat to 320°F (160°C).
• Mix the flour and salt in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs in another medium bowl, and put the panko in a third medium bowl. Dust a piece of fish in the flour, then dip in the eggs, then coat in the panko. Place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining halibut.
• Once the oil has come up to temperature, use a spider to carefully lower 2 pieces of the breaded halibut into the oil. Cook until golden and the internal temperature is 275°F (135°C), 4 to 6 minutes. Scoop out the fish and rest on a baking sheet with a rack set on it. Repeat with the remaining halibut and spoon the hot chile oil over it until the fish is covered and glossy.
• Build your sandwiches: Lay out the bottom bread, mayo, then pickles, the halibut, followed by the cheese and onion slices. Slather mayo on the top bread and squish the sando down.

Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with 1/2 tsp. salt total.
• Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with 3/4 cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and 1/4 cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

MISS BROWN'S FISH FILLET SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, relish, capers, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar and onion in a bowl and refrigerate.
• For the fish: Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fish fillets. Combine the milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the flour on a large plate. Combine the panko and seafood seasoning on another.
• Heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
• One at a time, dip the fish into the flour, then the egg and milk mixture, then the panko. Set on another plate or small baking sheet. Place the fish in the oil and fry, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes total (if you are using the shallow-frying method, cook both sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes). Transfer the fish with tongs to a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack set in a baking sheet. (I like to hit my fish with a little salt and lemon juice while it's hot.)
• Meanwhile, toast the buns, by melting the butter in a pan and cooking them in it or by buttering the buns and broiling them until slightly golden.
• Top the bun bottoms with the cheese and the fish, then spread the bun tops with tartar sauce and top your sandwiches.

Steps:

• Prepare the tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles and pickle brine, shallot, dill, capers and soy sauce. Season with salt to taste and set aside. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
• Prepare the fried fish: Heat oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium. Place flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate medium shallow bowls. Season flounder on both sides with salt and dredge in flour, dusting off excess, then transfer to egg wash, allow excess to drip off, then coat with panko.
• Working in batches, fry about 4 breaded fillets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with remaining fish.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread tartar sauce on both sides of each bun. Place 1 piece of fried fish on each bottom bun, then add a slice of cheese on top and another piece of fish on the cheese. The residual heat from the fish will help melt the cheese. Sandwich together and serve immediately.

YUMMY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Cut Halibut in to 1x1 inch chunks. Removed skin before if still on fish. It sometimes is easier to freeze the fish until solid then place in refrigerator for 24 hours and cutting while still mostly frozen.
• Mix Miracle Whip and mustard together, along with the tbsp of dill, the tsp of paprika and the 1/2 tsp of cayenne.
• Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, dill, paprika, cayenne, onion powder and pepper together.
• Coat chunks of fish in miracle whip sauce liberally then throw in to the flour mixture and toss til well coated. Lay on sheet pan until ready to fry.
• Heat oil until there are ripples but not so hot that its smoking.
• Gently set each individual chunk of fish in to hot oil. Once the side is medium brown, flip and fry the other side til evenly colored.
• Remove from oit and set on plate covered in paper napkins.
• Immediately salt lightly and serve. BBQ sauce tastes awesome with it! Or orange marmalade cooked in a saucepan with chili flakes and ginger then cooled.
