WASH AND PAT DRY YOUR FISH BEFORE PREPARING YOUR BREADING STATION AS PER THE THREE BOWLS OUTLINED ABOVE
COAT YOUR FISH IN FLOUR, BEFORE DIPPING INTO EGG, FINISHING WITH PANKO CRUMB MIX
REPEAT WITH OTHER FISH PIECES AND SET ASIDE
PREPARE TARTAR SAUCE, COS LETTUCE LEAVES, CHEESE, PICKLES AND BRIOCHE BUNS
HEAT AROUND 2/3 CUP OF NEUTRAL OIL IN A FRY PAN OVER MEDIUM TO HIGH HEAT
ONCE OIL IS HOT, ADD YOUR FISH, COOKING FOR 5 OR SO MINUTES ON EACH SIDE (DEPENDING ON THE THICKNESS OF THE FISH) UNTIL GOLDEN, CRISPY AND SIZZZZZLING BB.
WHEN THE FISH IS JUST ABOUT FINISHED, TOAST YOUR BRIOCHE BUNS IN ANOTHER FRY PAN OVER HIGH HEAT
