Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Pat fish fillets dry, then season both sides with salt and black pepper for optimal flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Set up dredging stations: one plate of flour, a bowl with beaten eggs, and a plate of panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Dip seasoned fillets in flour, then eggs, and finally coat completely with panko; press gently to ensure the coating adheres.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat (350°F); fry fillets in batches, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side).

  5. 5

    Drain fried fish on a wire rack to keep them crispy. Assemble sandwiches: spread tartar sauce on each bun, layer lettuce, then place the hot fried fish fillet before serving immediately.
