Perfect Pike Po’boys

Serves 4

1 large Baguette or loaf of Italian bread cut into 4 equal pieces

2 large Northern Pike filets (completely deboned and cut into thin strips)

4 large lettuce leaves

Dredge

1 cup flour

1/3 cup cornmeal

4 medium eggs

¼ cup milk

Sea salt to taste

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Coles Slaw

½ head of cabbage shredded

2 cups mayonnaise

1/3 cup grated onions

1 cup shredded carrots

2 tablespoons of chopped dill

¼ cup of chopped capers

Sea salt to taste

Fresh ground black pepper

2 large sweet potatoes (cut into French fry sized strips)

4 cups canola oil for frying

4 lemon wedges

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients listed for the coleslaw. Set aside for sandwich preparation.

Cooking the fish

In a medium bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, sea salt and pepper. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and milk together.  Dredge each piece of fish in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and then the flour mixture again.  Heat oil and deep fry the breaded fish to a golden brown. When all of the fish strips are fried, lightly salt and set aside for sandwich preparation. Place the sweet potato fries carefully into the hot oil, while they are cooking start assembling the sandwiches.   Cut the bread in half leaving one side still connected (should be like a pocket). Place a lettuce leaf in bread pocket followed by 4 to 5 pieces of fish. Cover with a fair amount of coleslaw.  Serve the sandwich with the sweet potato fries and a lemon wedge.
