Beer Battered Fish Sandwich & Tartare Sauce Recipe
Tartar sauce:
- 1/3 cup of mayonnaise
- Juice of a small lemon
- 1 tablespoon of fine-chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish
- 1/2 tablespoon of fresh chopped dill
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh chopped Tarragon
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon/Brown mustard
- 3 tablespoons of chopped pickles
Mix well and set aside.
Beer Battered Fish:
- fish filet of your choice (preferably flaky flesh. We used Trigger Fish)
- clean filets and pat dry.
-Sprinkle with Valentine Thomas Bahama Mama (vitalgrill.com/product/bahama...) or Old Bay seasoning and easy salt/pep.
Set up a pan with oil, about an inch deep. We are frying this as healthy as possible. Please use AVOCADO oil, the Healthiest and Tastiest option by far. Bring oil to 330-350°F, no more!
Batter:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tablespoon of Valentine Thomas Bahama Mama seasoning (vitalgrill.com/product/bahama...) or Old Bay Seasoning
- 8oz of cold light beer.
- 1.5 tablespoon crystal/Cholula hot sauce
- add beer into the mixture slowly and whisk around until nice and frothy.
Fry fish for about 1-1:30 minutes per side, until golden brown. Let it cool on a cooking rack. Assemble the sandwich with Boston lettuce, shaved iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, thin red cabbage ribbons and liberal amounts of tartar sauce... And as always, use a toasted brioche bun!

Spearfishing is the most sustainable and ethical form of fishing. Fish speared while freedive spearfishing using a speargun, polespear or Hawaiian sling are fish, lobsters and other oceanic delicacies that have already reached maturity and have had a chance to breed. When commercial fishing nets are stripping our ocean's fish supply, freedive spearfishing is sustainable fishing that allows for the renewal of fish populations. Spearfishing, while freediving or scuba diving to hunt for seafood, are some of the most dangerous lifestyles. Spearfishing and freediving are more than hobbies, they are a way of life for many.
