Fish Sandwich

So, this time of year on Fridays many people partake in seafood sandwiches. For the next 3 weeks, we'll be doing some different seafood sandwiches! The first is my personal favorite, the classic grilled fish sandwich.

This works just as well with a fried fish sandwich, but like I said, this is MY personal favorite!



What you'll need:
  • A piece of your favorite white fish (there's no such thing as too big of a piece of fish!)
  • Sesame seed bun
  • Lettuce
  • American Cheese
  • Spices to season the fish: I used some salt, pepper, chili powder, and season salt to taste, I just did a dash of each on each side
  • Beano's Tartar Sauce
We'll start with the fish, I put a little bit of olive oil in a pan and placed the fish in the center of it. I dashed my spices on the side that was facing up, then flipped it when the edges started to turn opaque and did the same for the other side.

While the fish is cooking, I cut my sesame bun and lettuce. I put the cheese on the bottom half of the bun and lettuce on the top half.

Once the fish is cooked through (it should be flaky and completely white, no see-through parts), place it on the cheese and squeeze some Beano's Tartar Sauce on top! Then just place the top bun and lettuce on top and enjoy! 

Next week, we'll do a shrimp po' boy sandwich with our Beano's Cocktail Sauce!

Cold Cuts: Your Sandwich Loves Them

This week, since Monday was National Cold Cuts Day, our blog will be dedicated to this yummy cured meat.

Cold cuts come in many different shapes, sizes, and flavors and can be found in pre-packaged containers at your local grocer or they can be sliced to order at the deli.

They can play center stage on your sandwich or they can be served au natural alongside some cheese and deli mustard. 

Interesting fact: the Spanish word, fiambre, means both "cold cut" and "dead body" in Chile and Argentina... 0.o I'd stick to ordering name-specific lunch meats!


The sandwich we made this week was super simple and only takes a couple of minutes to assemble. 

What you'll need
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 8 slices of your favorite cold cut (we used 2: hard salami and mortadella)
  • 2 slices of your favorite cheese (we used provolone)
  • 1 piece of lettuce (or if you really like lettuce, use 2!)
  • 2 slices of tomatoes
  • Beano's Deli Mustard (available at your local grocery store in the deli)
Put one slice of mortadella flat on the bottom piece of bread. Then roll up 6 pieces of salami, and put those on top of the mortadella. Top those with another piece of flat mortadella. Add the cheese, then tomato. Squeeze the Deli Mustard on, then top with lettuce and the top piece of bread!

Like I said, super simple this week! Next week, we'll be up early making a delicious breakfast sandwich since it's going to be lighter earlier... Don't forget to set your clock forward this weekend for Daylight Savings Time!
