Ingredients

🐟 2 whiting fillets
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🥚 2 eggs
🌿 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🫒 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
🍞 2 sandwich buns
🥗 1 cup shredded lettuce
🍅 1 tomato, sliced
🥒 1/2 cup pickled vegetables, chopped (for sauce)
🥄 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (for sauce)
🌶️ 1 teaspoon hot sauce (for sauce)
🧄 1 clove garlic, minced (for sauce)

Instructions

1- Prep the Whiting Fillets:

In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

2- Breading:

Dip each whiting fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the fillet with the flour mixture, ensuring an even covering. Repeat with the second fillet.

3- Frying:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fillets into the skillet.
Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fillets and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

4- Prepare the Pickled Cajun Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the chopped pickled vegetables, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and minced garlic.
Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

5- Assemble the Sandwich:

Lightly toast the sandwich buns.
Spread the pickled Cajun sauce generously on both sides of the buns.
Place a fried whiting fillet on the bottom half of each bun.
Top the fish with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the assembled sandwich.

6- Serve:

Serve the sandwiches immediately, while the fish is still warm and crispy.
