Beer-Battered Fish Sandwiches
Sandwiches for dinner, please!
No matter the season, a fish sandwich on a buttery brioche bun is always in style. Our version is piled high with a fresh cucumber herb salad, crispy cod (the magic of rice flour!), sliced pepperoncini, and a generous dollop of zesty horseradish mayo for a satisfying, well-balanced sando that hits the spot.
