These were really good. I used some red snapper I caught in the Gulf last fall. I used a milk/egg bath to coat the fish, and seasoned the fish with Tony's Cajun seasoning. I loved the 'slaw. The wasabi/mayo mixture was great. I'm going to keep that in mind for other sandwiches as well. Thanks for posting.
