Talapia Po'Boys!! Fish Sandwich Gremlin Style!

How does fish and chips sound? HECK YEAH!! Now, let's add a little home made tartar sauce with toasted baugette and you have a sandwich fit for a queen!! And that's just what we had tonight... and it was EASY and delish!!!! First we started with some home made sauce!!! Tonight I started with 1 cup of mayonnaise and added the zest of 1 lemon and the juice of half of that lemon, 2-3 tablespoons chopped pickle and chives, one tablespoon of country mustard (with all those yummy mustard seeds that pop in your mouth), 1 teaspoon of chopped capers, and a big dash (as in 1 HUGE teaspoon) of sriracha sauce. Taste this sauce and allow your brain to explode with savory-saucy deliciousness!! The sauce is ready, so now it's time for the fish!! To start get a "dry-wet" station ready on your counter. The dry will dredge the fish before you add it to the pan. Put 1 cup of flour, 1 cup corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and half a teaspoon cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine. Next to your dry bowl, add your "wet" bowl... 2 eggs, a little milk, and whisk together! Now get the fish ready! Seson with a little salt and pepper, drop each talapia filet in the wet (milk and eggs), and then drop in the dry. Shake off the excess and add to a big sauce pan with about 1/4 cup of canola oil. Let the oil get to medium high heat (not too hot) and drop the fish one at a time. Don't crowd the pan or the fish won't get crisp. I had 5 filets, so I had room for 4, and then added the last one after they were done. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minute on each side until crisp, and cooked through. Rest on paper towels until your ready to assemble your incredible fish sandwich!! So, here's dinner Joe's way... delicious crispy talapia on toasted baugette with home made tartar sauce and lettuce and tomato! YUM!!! And dinner Stevie's way... fish and chips style!! Delicious talapia po'boy with all the fixin's and salty, crunchy kettle chips on the side.... YES, please! And my way... crispy crunchy talapia with tangy sauce on top of sweet greens and fresh local chopped tomatoes!!! Soooooo good! This talapia is super easy, quick, and will make you a happy fish eater, for sure!!
