Method

To prepare the sandwich, preheat the oven to 200 °C. Brush the ciabatta slices on both sides with oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Season lightly and bake until golden and crisp, 10-12 minutes.
Arrange Sea Harvest Fish Fingers on a baking tray and bake until golden and crisp, 12-15 minutes.
For the chips, thinly slice the potatoes into paper-thin rounds. A mandolin or very sharp chef’s knife works best. Dry the potato rounds on a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture. Heat the oil to 180 °C and fry the chips in batches until golden and crisp, 3-5 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and season lightly.
To prepare the tartare sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until fine. Season to taste.
To serve, spread a generous dollop of the tartare sauce on one side of each slice of crisp ciabatta. Add some lettuce and 2 Sea Harvest Fish Fingers to each sandwich. Top with tartare sauce, cucumber and add a basil leaf or two.
Serve with the chips and lime wedges on the side.

How do I BAKE fish?

Dollops of flavoured butter (or a little olive oil) on fish portions are ideal for baking. Wrap fish portions in foil to keep moisture in – as fish forms its own juices. Open just before end of baking to allow for browning. Fish can also be placed in a suitable oven dish and covered. Baking takes around 20 minutes depending on the portion size.
