Fried Fish Sandwich

Sandwich de Pescado Frito

Our Photographer Andrés used to have a cafe in the Bay Area and this fried fish sandwich was the biggest seller.

It isn’t a traditional Mexican recipe but the chipotle mayonnaise gives it some Mexican flavor. We wanted to share it with you because it is an outstanding sandwich.

Fish Sandwich with Sweet Potato Chips

If you choose a mild white fish, the sandwich has a great fish taste without tasting “fishy”. We used tilapia for this one.

Fried Fish Sandwich Ingredients

Preparing the Chipotle Mayonnaise

Start with one or two canned chipotle peppers.

Canned Chipotle Pepper

Finely Chop the peppers.

Finely Chopped Chipotle Pepper

Add one or two spoonfuls of the chopped chipotles to the mayonnaise and stir to incorporate.

Preparing the Fish

Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.

Tilapia Fillet

Cook the fish in a well-oiled pan until nicely browned on both sides.

Assembling The Sandwich

Start by pan toasting your bread. Toast both sides. Extra toasty is nice with this sandwich.

Pan Toasting Bread

Once the bread is toasted, spread the chipotle mayonnaise on one or both sides of the bread. Andrés prefers it with mayonnaise on only one side.

I love mayonnaise so it gets slathered on both sides. Since it’s his recipe, we prepared it his way.

Chipotle Mayonnaise on French Roll

After spreading the chipotle mayonnaise, place the fish on the bottom piece of your bread.

Add the tomatoes.

Add two or 3 slices of avocado.

Slice in half and serve with homemade sweet potato chips.

Making the Sweet Potato Chips

Remove the ends from the sweet potatoes and peel.

Peeling Sweet Potatoes

Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible.

Slicing Sweet Potatoes

Put the sweet potatoes in boiling water and cook for two minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes very well.

Boiling Sweet Potatoes

In ½″ of preheated oil, fry the sweet potatoes until they have turned golden brown. Don’t overcrowd them in the pan.

You will have to cook them in 2 or 3 batches. Watch them carefully. They go from golden to burnt very quickly.

Frying Sweet Potatoes

When the chips are golden and crispy, drain them well on paper towels.
