Fry the Haddock
Assemble the Sandwiches
Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture and a tablespoon of sriracha or hot sauce to the tartar sauce for a spicy version.
Place a slice of American or sharp cheddar cheese on the hot fish fillet immediately after frying to let it melt slightly before assembling the sandwich.
This recipe works wonderfully with other firm white fish like cod, pollock, or tilapia.
Mix 1 tablespoon of dried parsley and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme into the panko breadcrumbs for an herby flavor boost.
Haddock is an excellent source of high-quality, lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle development, and maintaining overall body function.
While not as high as fatty fish like salmon, haddock provides beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function.
Haddock is a good source of several key nutrients, including Vitamin B12 for nerve function and red blood cell formation, selenium for antioxidant support, and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth.
A typical Fried Haddock Sandwich contains approximately 750-850 calories, depending on the size of the fish fillet, the type of bun, and the amount of tartar sauce used. The deep-frying process contributes significantly to the calorie count.
While haddock itself is a very healthy source of lean protein and nutrients, this sandwich is generally considered an indulgence. The deep-frying method adds considerable fat and calories. For a healthier alternative, you can bake or air-fry the breaded haddock.
The best oils for frying have a high smoke point and a neutral flavor. Canola, vegetable, peanut, or grapeseed oil are all excellent choices for frying fish.
Absolutely! To adapt for an air fryer, bread the fish as directed, then spray both sides of the fillets generously with cooking oil spray. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Haddock is a delicate fish. Handle the fillets gently throughout the breading and frying process. Using a wide, thin spatula (a fish spatula is ideal) will provide better support when flipping the fish and removing it from the hot oil.
Yes, the tartar sauce is actually better when made ahead! Making it at least 30 minutes to a day in advance allows the flavors to meld and deepen. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
