filet-o-fish?

I have to admit that I really like the Filet-O-Fish from McDonald's. But since Chad refuses to eat there, I decided to make my own! It was really good, and probably a little healthier than the fast food version.

the fish:

I got a bag of frozen cod from costco, and the only way it tastes good is fried, so it works well for this! I used one piece of fish, thawed it out and filet it to make 2 pieces.

the batter:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• olive (or vegetable) oil for frying

Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and dill. Then add milk and egg. Put the fish in the batter and coat both sides. Let the fish sit in the batter for 15 minutes.

the sauce:

2 tablespoons mayo

2 teaspoons relish

pinch of salt

Now, fry the fish until it is golden brown on both sides, and cooked all the way. Spread the sauce on both sides of a bun, add a slice of cheese and the fish!

We loved this, and maybe even more than the mcd's version. Oh and for the bun I used those flat bread bun things from Costco. I think a regular bun would be better :)
