Sandwiches with fried fish

Whenever I have fried fish, I always pair it with tartar sauce. Get some good tartar sauce or whip up some on the fly, and don't forget the wheat bread. Spread the tartar sauce on the wheat bread (or other bread) slices.

When I make a sandwich, I spread tartar sauce on both sides of one slice of bread, but I tend to spread more on one side than the other. Put some tartar sauce on some bread, drizzle some hot sauce on top, and top it all off with some fried, crispy fish.
