Fried Fish Sandwich With Tartar Sauce and Hand-Cut Chips

A fried fish sandwich with tartar sauce and crispy chips just seem to say summer—even if it's cold outside. In this recipe, the fish is coated in a tempura-like batter, fried until crisp, and then served on a toasted bun with homemade tartar sauce and a side of hand-cut potato chips. Halibut fillets are used here, but any firm, dense fish will do.

The tartar sauce is a simple mixture of mayonnaise, diced cornichons (small gherkins), onion, and capers, making the perfect cool, creamy foil for the crispy fish. The chips are paper-thin slices of potato fried only for a few seconds, resulting in crunchy, salty chips—the perfect accompaniment!
