Steps:
- Coleslaw: Mix together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, celery salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots and gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 3 hours. Herb tartar sauce: Mix together all of the ingredients and refrigerate until needed, at least 1 hour. Fish: Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Set up 3 separate bowls-one filled with the flour, one with the cornmeal, and one with the eggs. Dredge the fillets in the flour, then in the eggs, and then into the cornmeal. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the fish filets in batches until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined platter. Sandwiches: Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons tartar sauce on each side of each kaiser roll. Place 2 fish fillets in each sandwich, spreading another layer of tartar sauce between the fillets. Serve immediately while fish is still warm, with the coleslaw on the side.
SOUTHERN FRIED FISH
This extra crispy fried fish recipe is one of my go-tos whenever I have family and friends over for a visit and to share a good meal. You can also use this on shrimp, but here in Savannah, our favorite fish to fry are whiting and flounder. The batter is light and flavorful and the fish is perfect as an accompaniment to any vegetable or as a sandwich. I like to add a dash of hot sauce and have yellow mustard on hand for dipping.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the rice flour, Creole seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder smoked paprika and yellow cornmeal, and whisk together until evenly mixed. Add the seasoned cornmeal to a large piece of wax paper.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet until at least 325 degrees F (or add a few drops of cornmeal and if it sizzles, it's ready to start frying).
- Rinse off the fish fillets and place in a large baking dish. Shake a few drops of hot sauce on both sides of 2 of the fish fillets, then coat both sides with the seasoned cornmeal. Fry the coated fillets in the hot oil, without turning, until the edges turn brown, about 4 minutes. Flip over and fry about another 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Repeat the coating and frying with the remaining 2 fillets.
SOUTHERN FRIED FISH WITH CREAMY REMOULADE COLESLAW
This southern fried fish is a recipe you'll come back to time and again, thanks to the crispy cornmeal fried snapper and creamy coleslaw. Fish fillets get dipped in a flour and cornmeal mixture that is well seasoned with a Cajun spice blend. Then they're pan-fried until golden and crispy. Serve with a flavorful coleslaw of mayo, apple cider vinegar and celery seed that's reminiscent of a creamy remoulade sauce.

Steps:
- For the coleslaw: Stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, vinegar, hot sauce, ketchup, celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the coleslaw mix and scallions until evenly coated; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve (the coleslaw will soften and develop even more flavor the longer it sits).
- For the southern fried fish: Heat 1 inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet, large Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F (a pinch of flour should immediately sizzle once it hits the hot oil). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish or bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a second shallow baking dish or bowl.
- Coat 1 fillet in the flour mixture, then dip in the buttermilk mixture and shake off any excess. Firmly press again into the flour mixture, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining 3 fillets.
- Carefully slide the coated fish into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared wire rack and season immediately with a pinch of salt. Serve warm with the coleslaw on the side.
