A lovely substitute if you fancy giving the red meat a miss.
Ingredients
With flavours of the chargrill without the burger due to the charred lemons my fish sarnie will be a family favourite for the summer. I would recommend using hake as it is a nice meaty fish and works well.
Note that it says Tartare garnish as we are not binding it with any mayo.
