  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup Panko crumbs
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the Tartar Sauce:

  • 1 tsp suger
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper, ground
  • 2 tsp fresh dill, (chopped)

For the Pickled Red Onion:

For Assembly:

  • 4 buns, potato (split and toasted)

Instructions

For the Fish Patties:

  • Place the fish and onion in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times–only until coarsely ground. do not over-pulse—this should be a VERY coarse mix, not a paste. Alternatively, you can chop this mixture by hand.
  • Remove to a bowl. Add the egg white, a pinch of salt, and white pepper, and barely crushed Navy Beans and fold together with a rubber spatula to combine.
  • Form into four equal patties. Coat both sides of each patty with panko and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  • When ready to serve, heat the butter and oil in a non-stick pan.
  • Brown each side of the patties, approximately 3-4 minutes each side.
  • Assemble as indicated in step 4.

For the Tartar Sauce:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.
    * For an authentic British flavor, use malt vinegar instead of the lemon juice, but both are equally good!

For the Pickled Red Onion:

  • Pour vinegar and sugar over red onion.
  • Stir and allow to sit for 30 minutes to overnight.

For Assembly:

  • Spread tartar sauce on the both sides of each of the lightly toasted buns.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, the fish patty, the pickled red onion, and a generous handful of shoestring potatoes.
    *If you cannot find Shoestring Potato Chips – good quality chips plain, or salt and vinegar work well.
  • Place the top bun, and serve immediately.
