Thanks man, frying is an art and honestly I would cry if I ruined good seafood, those hit 375 for 2.5 to 3 mins.

I had to sleep on the lack of M's on the roll, but in the end, a well-executed fry imparts the same flavors, and I like a little squish in the handles for a fish sandwich ...
 
Good job.

Good job.

Cheers, it was split and toasted but everything is covering the toasted parts. I put aioli to cover the whole bread then again on top.  

 

[grantmichaels]

Even better. Okay, time to put my head down ...
 
I have to drive to my work tomorrow =( ...
 
:shudder:

Thanks OS!

t0mato's => Blat and Borscht made perfect sense as a combo to me.   different combos of  sweet, salty, creamy , heat  in both.   There were  at least two other entries that could have taken my vote , and I really had to dig into methods  to decide.   I often drive my wife nuts by turning my nose up at a dish she knows I like,simply because I don't like the texture of an ingredient added at the wrong time.

JHP i'm telling ya brother that fish had the perfect fry!! As Brother Grant pointed out earlier just had to chime in

 

[grantmichaels]

geeme had a beautiful loaf of bread made for this ...
 
I think on a different day, in a different mood, that sobelri could have gotten my vote ...
 
Today I'd like to eat that ... the breeze was cool this morning, and some chicken and matzo ball soup sounds delicious right now ...

I agree that was a really great cook. So inventive love that about the Members here .  You never know what your going to see. Like say ........Guyanese Pepper pot sammie just brilliant.  And that French Mushroom soup Just shut the Hell Up !! hahaha

 

[sobelri]

JayT's , sobelri's, and hot stuff's seem like they are all excellent, but presentation (photos) matters A LOT TO ME when I can't touch or taste something ...

I'm no Ansel Adams, but I'm working on it.

So the real question is, if you could only have one of the following superpowers, which would it be?

1. Take photos like JHP
or
2. Fry fish like JHP

Thanks for the kind words & feedback.

Picture quality is important to a certain degree in TD's .  But there are many folks who have won TD's with crappy cell phone pictures because the concept and description was spot on. 

 

[geeme]

It was extremely tough to decide between my top two. Flipped back and forth several times. Almost came to a coin toss. In the end, though, thegreenchilemonster won out. Hot Stuff, you had an extremely close second for me. Well played to both of you!

Thanks!!  Originally I thought about putting slices of beet on the sandwich too, but I thought that would be beet overkill

 

[Rymerpt]
