Bermuda fish sandwich recipe
Bermuda fries wahoo in a double flour crust and stacks it on sweet raisin bread, whose rum-soaked fruit is the whole point of the sandwich.
Ingredients
- 8 slice bermudian raisin bread
- 600 g wahoo fillets
- 200 g all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 120 ml tartar sauce
- 300 g white cabbage
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tomatoes
- 4 slice cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp hot sauce
- 500 ml frying oil
How to make Bermuda fish sandwich
- Cut 600 g of wahoo into finger-thick pieces, season with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce.
- Dredge each piece in 200 g of flour, then in 2 beaten eggs, then back into the flour for a double coat.
- Heat the oil to 180 °C and fry the fish 3 to 4 minutes a side until the crust is deep golden; drain.
- Shred 300 g of white cabbage and fold it through 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise to make the slaw.
- Toast 8 slices of Bermudian raisin bread: its sweetness against the fried fish is what makes this sandwich, and plain buns will not do it.
- Spread the slices generously with 120 ml of tartar sauce.
- Pile on the fish, a slice of cheddar, rounds of tomato and then the slaw.
- Close, cut in half and serve at once with the hot sauce on the table.
