Tips

  • Crispy fish pairs beautifully with tangy sauces, creamy mayo, and crunchy lettuce.
  • A good tartar sauce is creamy, tangy, and has the right amount of zest.
  • You can add a slice of cheese and a spoonful of dill relish for extra flavor.
  • Condiments like hot sauce, extra tartar, or a squeeze of lemon can enhance the fish.
  • Mayonnaise provides a perfect creamy bite to balance the crunch.
