This recipe has all the makings for your new favorite classic fish sandwich: Crispy fried white flounder fillets enveloped in two thick slices of white bread, piled high with iceberg lettuce, pickles, onions, and of course, potato chips.
Ingredients
Makes 4
Step 1
Combine onion, pickles, and pickle brine in a small bowl.
Step 2
Mix mayonnaise, dill, hot sauce, pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and ½ tsp. salt in another small bowl.
Step 3
Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls. Season each fish fillet with ½ tsp. salt. Working one at a time, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with ½ tsp. salt total.
Step 5
Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with ¾ cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and ¼ cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with lemon wedges and more potato chips alongside.
Step 6
Do Ahead:Pickled onions and dill sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

These were so very good!! I did use frozen fish. But I made homemade Pullman bread, so I figure that evens it out. ;-) I will definitely be making these again!

How do you figure 2/3# equals 4 servings? That's 2.66 ounces per serving, barely a bite. I don't eat large portions, but that's not enough for even me!

An easier alternative to the fish is to purchase from Trader Joe’s, assuming you have one, the frozen, breaded halibut pieces and proceed from there with the rest of the recipe. I use that fish in fish tacos as well.

These sandwiches were great! Just be careful with the dill. A little goes a long way!

Loved loved this recipe. It's similar to one I do for just fish and finding this one for burgers and all the trimmings was so great. My husband really loved it and it's he whom I must please for fish as he's not big on it usually :) I agree, Skipadoo you are obviously not aware of microwave chips which contain no fats and are quite healthy for you unless you don't eat potatoes - then again as stated you could just leave them off. I loved the pickled onions (used shallot but only because my little red one wasn't looking so good). Oh I used dill pickles but again only because that's all I had this week. Thanks for a great fish recipe.

This sandwich was delicious. I totally agree with Skipadoo - do NOT rate a recipe if you have not made it. And Epicurious readers are not interested in reading a nonsensical rant from a buzzkill...

这样有趣的一餐!我的家人,然后guests, and everyone loved it. I was tickled pink by the crunchy chips, and, needless to say, it was a highlight for the kids. Even my 3 year old nephew enjoyed it.

I’m craving this sandwich just reading the recipe. Adding sliced red onions to the pickle brine is a brilliant idea. My brother taught me to use pickle brine in potato salad, which really improves it. This is another delicious way to get more mileage from the brine.

@Gina_Sanders, you're review has nothing to do with the recipe itself. If you don't like the chips, leave them out. But if you have tried the recipe then give your thoughts and experience on it. Don't penalize this recipe because of the chips. Shame on you.

So sorry to need to say but chips are not good food for adults or children. 95% very bad oils involved and standard table salt. Regular bread, chips, salt all bad and heavily processed unless alternatives are chosen.
