Equipment

  • Deep Fryer or deep frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets redfish about 2 lbs
  • oil for frying
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce I use Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp pickle brine
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning I use Cajun Ninjas

For the tartar sauce

  • ½ cup real mayonnaise
  • ½ cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • ⅛ tsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 tsp dill freshly chopped
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp hot sauce

Toppings

  • coleslaw
  • pickles
  • tartar sauce
  • Hawaiian burger buns

Instructions
 

  • If your fish is still “on the half shell” (skin still on), filet the meat. Cut the fillets into square, sandwich-sized portions to be fried.
  • Heat a deep fryer, or frying pan filled with oil, to 375 degrees
  • Mix the buttermilk, hot sauce, eggs, and brine in a shallow dish, such as a pie dish. In a separate shallow dish, mix together flour and Cajun seasoning.
  • Pat fish fillets dry with a paper towel
  • Dredge the fish through the egg mixture and then coat in flour mixture. Repeat this to get a good thick breading on your fish.
  • Cook fish for 3 minutes or until completely cooked and golden brown.
  • In a bowl, combine all tartar sauce ingredients. Toast buns if desired. Then, assemble your sandwich. Enjoy!
