Chef Christian is doing a fish fry and making a next-level sando.
“If you’ve ever been to a fish fry, there’s typically hot sauce, tartar sauce, and that’s it. The white bread is a staple in the south, the pickle-laden tartar sauce is a must for this sammy, and the dip is a slam dunk. Don’t skip on anything. Prep the sauces the day before, and get your fish as fresh as possible.”
