Calling all fish aficionados. Treat yourself to this crunchy Mexican Slaw Fish Sandwich. It will leave you wanting more. In partnership with Gorton’s Seafood.
First off I apologize for sharing my third sandwich recipe in a row. However, when you try this Mexican Slaw Fish Sandwich, you will quickly realize that THIS sandwich is a game changer.
Now let’s get to the actual makeup of the Mexican Slaw Fish Sandwich.
Anytime you can purchase freshly made buns from the store or your local farmer’s market. DO IT. The buns also NEED to be toasted. That means no to soggy bread and adding a bit more of a crunch to your overall bite.
Next up is the Mexican slaw. I’m a huge fan of coleslaw if it’s not theover saturated with mayo type. It’s typically paired with bbq straight off the grill. Well not for this recipe. I took out the vinegar and mayo and incorporated Mexican spices, yogurt and some lime juice. The key for this Mexican slaw is allowing the flavors to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving or pairing with this sandwich.
Last but not least is the fish. For this crunchy fish sandwich, I used Gorton’s Seafood Crispy Battered Fish Fillets. Once they are baked, they have a nice crunchy exterior while the fish is nice and flaky. They even provide Smart and Crunchy Fish Fillets if you need a healthier alternative.
