The Ultimate Fish Fillet Sandwich

This recipe was inspired to me by Tyler Florence from the Food Network show. I wanted to share the recipe here but with a few changes that suits our families taste. Only changes that I made was replacing the tarter cream sauce he made, which was made up of mayonnaise,lemon juice, fresh parsley, basil,and chives, black pepper and olive oil and replacing it with my recipe for Tasty Tartar Sauce and replacing romaine lettuce for the arugula he used on the sandwich.
