INGREDIENTS:
* 4 – 6 oz. White Fish Filets (Pollock, Flounder, Cod, or Mahi-Mahi) * 1 tsp. Salt * 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour + more for dredge * 1 tbsp. Garlic Powder * 2 tsp. Cayenne * 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning * 2 tsp. White Pepper * 1 Egg * 12 oz. Pilsner Beer * 8 Slices American Cheese * Tartar Sauce * 4 Brioche Buns * Vegetable Oil, for frying
DIRECTIONS:
1. Fill a large pot with enough oil to cover the filets and heat until the oil has reached 365F. While the oil is heating, prep the rest of the ingredients for the sandwiches. 2. If needed, trim the white fish filets to a little larger than the size of the buns. Season with salt and allow them to sit for 5 – 10 minutes at room temperature. 3. In a large bowl, mix together the 1.5 cups flour with garlic powder, cayenne, old bay, and white pepper. Next add the egg, pilsner and whisk together to make a batter. 4. Add some flour to a plate and fully coat the fish filets with flour followed by the batter. Working in two batches, drop 2 filets into the oil and fry for 5 minutes. Drain fish on a wire rack with a lined baking sheet underneath. 5. Lay out the buns, toast them if you prefer, and pile each with a fried fish filet, two slices of cheese, and desired amount of tartar sauce. Finish with the top bun. Enjoy immediately.
I think at McD’s they use half a cheese slice in their FoF because any more they feel the cheese overpowers/misbalances the flavors.
Still looks awesome.

I don’t even really like fish much but would smash one of these.

That hole and cream wasn’t there until I got my hands on it

Looks spot on! Great job on frying up your own fish for them.
We cheat, as we make these with Van De Kamp’s frozen breaded fish fillets made specifically for sandwiches. Place them in the Air Fryer at 380 degrees for 9 minutes flipping halfway through.
Homemade Tartar Sauce, melted American Cheese on a slightly toasted bun.
I like the idea of using a Brioche Bun and will try that next time 👍
This looks delicious. Your profile is stuffed full with some really wonderful food!

Only thing I will do different is mix the tartar into a crispy cabbage. I have about 50 freshly frozen cod and rockfish filets from a charter trip and will be giving this a try over the weekend. Thanks for the inspo.

I actually love McD’s filet-o-fish. That said, your version looks scrumptious! Thanks for the recipe.
