How To Make "swai" fish hoagie, panco fried w/slaw

  • 1
    *...Make your coleslaw & refrigerate.
    Your recipe ....OR
    I used JAP cook ....CAROL DAVIS recipe
    for "COLE SLAW"
    A great recipe., Easy & delish!!
    Refrigerate.
  • 2
    Thaw the fish.
    Rinse, and lay on a dry towel .
    Pat with towel on both sides.
    You want the fish fairly dry.
    Cut fish in half .
  • 3
    Add egg to the milk.
    Wisk ...well, set aside.
    I really like this fish, even better than cod or catfish!
    And the price is a steal!
  • 4
    Gently dip both sides of fish in the flour, to coat.
    Then in the egg and milk.
  • 5
    Panko both sides, cover well.
    Put on a plate and put in refrigerator,15 to 60 minutes.
    This will help the panco to adhere to the fish.
  • 6
    Put olive oil and butter in a skillet,
    JUST ENOUGH TO COVER THE FISH.
    HEAT THE OIL and butter to 350, don't let it burn.
    Check oil temp, by a sprinkle of cold water.
    If it sizzles...add the fish.
    Do not crowd fish. Fry till golden, then fry the other side.
    Put on a wire rack over paper towels.
  • 7
    Warm the bread hoagie, CUT OPEN.
    PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF MAYO OR TARTER SAUCE, ON BOTH OF INSIDES OF BREAD.
    LAYER COLESLAW THEN FISH ON THE HOAGIE.
    CLOSE AND ENJOY THE CRUNCH!
    I LIKE TO ADD CUT UP, GREEK PEPPERONCINI OR
    A FEW DASHES OF GREEN TABASCO...
    FOR A MILD KICK! Please enjoy!....
