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 one 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.

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.
