  • Fried Fish Sandwich

    Fried Fish Sandwich

    In my quest to try to eat more fish, I made some crispy fish sandwiches from tilapia filets.  I think they would have been better with some lettuce and tomato but I had neither around so I just added some tartar sauce and a slice of white onion.  If you like, you can soak onion…
