Crispy “Ritz” Fried Fish Sandwich

Looking for a crunchy fish sandwich that delivers on flavor? Then my Crispy “Ritz” Fried Fish Sandwich recipe is what you crave!

This sandwich recipe was sparked from wanting a sandwich but with a crispier crust. So I added Ritz crackers with Panko breadcrumbs and came up with this Crispy “Ritz” Fried Fish Sandwich masterpiece.

For the buns I went pretzel-style. Pretzel buns are doughy, chewy, and soft and taste just like those over-sized pretzels you get when you go to the carnival or an amusement park. They are perfect for any type of sandwich. A quick toasting in the oven and they are ready to go.

Once you coat the fish and shake off the excess, the fish can be fried the perfect golden brown. I love the buttery and rich flavors from the Ritz cracker and adding that crust to a white fish gives this fish sandwich an upgrade.

I prefer to make my own tarter sauce and after you start making your own at home, you’ll never go back to the store bought kind. A few simple ingredients (mayo, dill relish, lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, Creole seasoning and garlic powder) become the creamy layer this sandwich will need.

If you’re looking for a not-so-fast food fish sandwich this Crispy Fried Fish Sandwich will be there waiting for your taste buds.
