The Ultimate Fish Fillet Sandwich

Submitted by Marsha D.

"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 Recipe #114732 and replacing romaine lettuce for the arugula he used on the sandwich."

This is so good. We love fish sandwiches and this one didn't disappoint. We ate our on a baguette , as this is what I had on hand. Very good. Thanks for sharing.

Made this for the family and used pre-made tartar sauce. DH appreciated being able to put it all together to his liking. Very good for getting in "fish night" for the meat eaters.
