Instructions

1- Prep the Whiting Fillets:

• In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

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:
