One of my favorite meals is fish & chips—a staple ‘fried foods’ meal. To break up the monotony, I battered up some cod, similarly to how I would for fish and chips and created a fried cod fishwich. It’s a somewhat light sandwich and super tasty. And, the avocado tartar sauce really takes it over the top!
