Fried Fish Rolls Recipes

FRIED FISH ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut fillets into pieces about 4"x1 1/2". Stuff with mixture of ginger, salt, ham and spinach. Roll and fasten with toothpicks. Make batter by combining flour, egg and water. Stir in sesame seeds. Dip fish rolls into batter and deep fry until rolls are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, or until fish is done. Remove toothpicks before serving with your choice of dipping sauces.

FRESH CRISPY FISH ROLLS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix Cucumber Sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut fish fillets into 12 serving pieces. In pie plate or shallow pan, mix milk and egg. In another pie plate or shallow pan, mix bread crumbs and salt. Dip fillets into milk mixture; roll in bread crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook fish fillets in oil 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Keep warm.
• Heat 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Brush melted butter on cut sides of buns. Place cut sides down in skillet; cook about 3 minutes or until toasted. Place buns on plates; fill each with fish fillet and about 3 tablespoons sauce. Serve with lemon slices and fresh dill.

FRIED-CATFISH ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees.
• Combine the jalapeno, scallions, mayonnaise and pickling liquid in a blender; puree until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the catfish in the flour; shake off any excess in a strainer. Working in batches, fry the fish until lightly golden and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate; let cool. Preheat the broiler.
• While the fish cools, divide the buns into four 3-roll rows (they'll look like hot dog buns). Split open down the center; brush the tops and insides with the melted butter; broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Toss the fried catfish with the spiced mayonnaise; divide among the buns. Garnish with tomato, pickles and celery.
